Copy & Pasting is great, but as frames/notes can’t be selected, it is not necessary to duplicate whole procedures that way. How it would look: A right click\>‘Duplicate Procedure’ entry underneath ‘Add New Procedure’, t…

This would be tremendously helpful to have as a shortcut, for renaming procedures & node input/outputs in-place, without having to go over to the properties panel after clicking either of them.

The default ranges of nodes such as Frame.Turn and Frame.Reorient make sense, and they inform me intuitively of how they work very well. The Frame.Shrink default Units is set to proportion, but the Amount’s range is set…
