I often have to duplicate a node frame with all nodes within it. However when I just select the node frame and press Shift+D it only duplicates the node frame but not the nodes contained within it. Of course I could manually select all the nodes, but especially with large node setups this quickly becomes quite tedious.

Is there an operation or hotkey that does what I want?

  • $\begingroup$ By the way the ] shortcut doesn't work for me. I use a non-english keyboard, could it be related to that? @HarryMcKenzie $\endgroup$

Select the Layout Frame containing the nodes you want to copy and go to menu Select -> Select frame's members (children) or press the shortcut key ] (close square bracket) to select the nodes in it or you can double press ]] to select everything including child Layout Frames and their children nodes. Then press Shift+D to copy selection.

  • $\begingroup$ Select frame's member only seems to select it's immediate children. Is there something like "Select all frame's member"? $\endgroup$
