How do i sever a connector between two nodes??

[Blender 4.2]

Hey guys, i feel embarassed asking this, but i've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, so please go easy. How do i get rid of a connection between two nodes? I've never had a problem with this in any node based software until now. I tried dragging it off the node, ctrl clicking, alt clicking, shift clicking (almost worked) the connection and various other methods. Nothing intuative worked.

I can't find any way of knowing this. A depressing list of some of the 20 things i tried googling:

-"substance designer" sever connector between nodes.

-"substance designer" remove connector

-"substance designer" remove node link

-"substance designer" delete node link

-"substance designer" I've had it with these mother ****ing connectors on these mother ****ing nodes (jks)

I sat through about 8 beginner videos waiting for some mention of what you do if you want a connection taken away, no dice. I also checked the help documentation.

THIS SHOULD COME UP ON GOOGLE..... WHY??

Why not just drag the connector off of an item? Only way i can get past this for now is to delete the node.


Very angrily yours,

I got it! you hold backspace while selecting a connector...! I don't like it. Ahh well, if any other n00b comes along like me wishing someone had at least brought it up, here's that sollution.

You can also alt + click on the input/output circles instead of the connection itself, that severs it. And shift + click allows you to drag all connections you have in one node to another.

Been seven years but leaving this reply for anyone else who can't be bothered to press del on connections to break them.

Or you could just hold shift + LMB on a connector lol? Been that way for a few years now also allows easy placement of new node path.
