How to make auto connecting nodes by 2 and 3 hotkeys?

[kirkr5689]

Does anyone knows a full list of criteria necessary?     Those 2 and 3 hotkeys  work for default material nodes only but never work for my custom made ones .

Whats the trick?

Have you assigned the individual outputs (or inputs) to a group?

Hello,

The criterion used for authorizing connections in Material and Compact Material modes is matching usages, as specified in the Link matching with usage section of the page Dave helpfully linked above.

Groups are specifically used for collapsing connectors together in the Compact material mode.

Best regards.

Thanks. The group  is what I forget about
