Tips for Navigating in the Node View

The Node View can get a little unwieldy when you add a large number of nodes to
your script. Here are some tips to help you work more efficiently. With the pointer
over the Node View:

Press the plus key (+) to zoom in. Press the minus key () to zoom out.

Press F on your keyboard to frame all selected nodes. If none is selected, press F to
frame the entire node tree.

Press O to display the node overview. You can drag inside the overview frame to pan
to different areas of the node tree, and also drag the overview border to resize it.
