Canvas menus
A right-click on the canvas opens a menu for what is under the pointer: a node, an input or output, a link, a group or an empty place. A right-click on a node that is not selected selects it first. The upper part, under the caption Ask the assistant, sends a question to the assistant about that object. The lower part changes the graph. With the keyboard: Shift+F10 or the menu key on the focused object.
On a node
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| What is this? | Asks "What is the node "…" for?" |
| Why is it here? | Asks why the node is in this graph. |
| What comes next? | Asks what should come after it. |
| Explain the inputs and outputs | Asks to explain its inputs and outputs. |
| Tour from here | Starts the tour of the graph at this node. |
| Open subgraph / Dissolve subgraph | Only on a subgraph block: go inside, or put its nodes back on the canvas. |
Copy (Ctrl+C), Cut (Ctrl+X), Duplicate (Ctrl+D) | Copy, cut or duplicate this node, or the selection when it is one of them. See Copy and paste. |
Make a subgraph from selection (Ctrl+G) | Folds this node, or all selected nodes when it is one of them, into a subgraph. |
Make a group from selection (Ctrl+Shift+G) | Draws a group around this node or the selection. |
| Rename… | Opens Properties with the field Name on the canvas. |
| Note for this node… | Opens Properties at Purpose, to write what the node is for. |
Collapse / Expand (Alt+C) | Folds the node to its title row, or opens it again. |
| Go to its Set / Go to its Get | On a Get or Set node: shows its partner. |
Bypass (Ctrl+Shift+B), Mute (Ctrl+M) | ComfyUI skips the node, or does not run it at all. A tick shows the current state. See Bypass and mute. |
| Color ▸ | One of ComfyUI's colours, or No color. |
| Replace with… | Puts another node in its place. Not on a subgraph, a note, a reroute or a primitive. |
| Add to group ▸ / Take out of group | Puts the node into a group or takes it out (main canvas only). See Groups. |
Delete node (Delete) | Removes the node with its links. |
On an input or output
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| What connects here? (input) | Lights up the outputs that fit and asks what to connect. |
| Where does this go? (output) | Lights up the inputs that fit and asks where it usually goes. |
| What type is this? | Asks about the data type, for example LATENT. |
| Suggest a link | Lights up what fits, without asking. Enter connects to the best one: "Enter links to KSampler. Esc cancels." |
| Expose as subgraph input / output | Inside an open subgraph: makes this port an input or output of the subgraph. |
| Remove this subgraph input or output | On the edge of an open subgraph. |
On a link
What flows here?, Why is it connected like this?, Insert node… (puts a node on the link), Add reroute and Disconnect.
On a group
What is this group for?, Color ▸ and Remove group (the nodes stay).
On an empty place
Add node… (the search opens at that spot), Paste (Ctrl+V), Add note, Insert subgraph ▸ the subgraphs of the project ("No subgraphs yet" when there are none), Show the assistant’s suggestions (moves the view to the grey drafts), Accept all suggestions and Reject all suggestions (with two or more), Fit to view.
