Hahahaha! That's amazing :) When I got an email from SideFX changing the
status of the RFE to "Fixed", I just assumed that they had agreed that
it was a valid request that they'd look into, not that they'd actually
gone and bloody done it. Well done SideFX!
In case he's still reading this thread, thanks to Mark Tucker at SideFX
who dealt with this so promptly.

Houdini 16.0.561 Added a hotkey to temporary toggle the state of the
"Allow Dropping Nodes on Wires" preference while in the middle of
dragging a node.

No problem Jonathan.
A quick update to this following discussions with SideFX:
1) I don't recall if this was mentioned in the thread earlier, but
they mentioned that you can enable/disable the auto-connect on
wires using CTRL+8 or in the Network View menu under Tools-> Allow
Dropping Nodes on Wires. This doesn't work during a drag operation
though, so I've gone back and explained the desired workflow of
having a modifier key to toggle the behaviour during the dragging
of nodes. I just thought I'd post this in here now case it's
useful to anyone in the mean time.
2) They pointed out that I was incorrect when I said earlier in
this thread there wasn't an equivalent view of Softimage's
Explorer view where you can see clean hierarchies of objects. You
can do it in the Tree View. You just need to enable the Object
Filter (the first button in the Tree View's tool bar). You can
also right click on the Tree View toolbar, and there are various
other options in there which can be helpful for sorting and
grouping the objects in a tree structure. Definitely worth playing
with anyway. Sorry for the misinformation before!
Cheers,

I also like Pauls idea of a modifier key to disable the auto
connection on demand. Definitely seems a worthwhile
enhancement request.
FYI, I’ve submitted an RFE to Side Effects and sent them the link
to this thread.
