    Hello,

    Thanks for your suggestions. Please let me address both of them 🙂

    1) Do you mean something like a docked panel with tasks?
    This has not really been done, because the search field I think is very easy to reach and use. Just in case you’ve missed it, it can found right under the “Assign Action Task” button 🙂

    2) The reason that nodes are “view” only and editing is opted to be done only from within the node inspector panel is twofold:
    A) It is to keep the space nodes required in the graph editor, as minimum as possible, thus giving a better overview with more nodes able to be drawn in the given space available.
    B) It is to avoid accidentally editing parameters while only trying to move a node around.

    Back when designing the UI, I did try adding controls within the nodes, but due to the reasons stated above, I quickly dropped that idea 🙂

    Let me know what you think.
    Thanks!
