Allow to create Vector Join/Split operation quickly

Bonjour,

Back in the old days it was possible to quickly create a Vector Split/Join by middle-clicking a pin :

Could we get something similar in gamma? I know middle-clicking a pin now means something else, maybe there could be another way to have shortcuts for those things we do quite often?

Merci beaucoup infiniment.

Two thoughts:

Option A: While a link is already attached to the mouse

Typing while drawing a link is already summoning the node browser. I forget to make use of this or just prefer to throw nodes and then draw the links. But maybe while having the link on the mouse, typing v or j (join) or s (split) could order those options to the very top when the link type is Vector2/3/4? Not at my desk, might already be the case for the context/type sensitive node browser feature?

Even though I prefer to not use it (actually never tried to be honest), this might still be a less intelligent default behavior for this specific case?

Option B: Unreal-style shortcuts, while the mouse doesn’t draw a link already.

In Unreal Blueprints and Material editor holding down some key and then clicking into the patch window creates specific (obviously often used) nodes.

To adapt this to vvvv, 2 + leftclick could do a V2 Join, 2 + rightclick a V2 Split. Same for 3 and 4.
