I have seen multiple times in the node editor that you can split a noodle/pipe, with a socket in the middle of what would otherwise be a normal pipe. I have found no documentation or any other information on this, but I know it is possible, such as seen from the image from this question:

Image showing the split noodle as described above

What is the keyboard shortcut or method of performing this split?

(Bonus: Is there a specific, official name for the noodles/pipes?)

Thank you!

You can create those handy little things by holding down shift and right click, then sweeping over a connection line. They're called "Reroute Nodes". Here's some more documentation if you're interested: Blender 3.4 Manual

  • $\begingroup$ That's interesting, I thought that was node wrangler. Cut with ctrl + right click is default too, or no? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Also, if you already have the noodles connected, you can sweep over all the noodles from the same source and it will merge them all into a reroute $\endgroup$
