You can use the keyboard to perform tasks
in the Message Flow editor, such as adding a node to the canvas.
Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
Open the message flow to which you want to add a node.
Open the Palette view or the Palette bar.
Select a node in the Palette view or Palette bar using the up and
down arrows to highlight the node that you want to add to the canvas.
Add the Node to the canvas using one of the following methods:
Press Alt + L, then press N.
Press Shift + F10 to open the context-sensitive
menu for the Palette, and press N.
The node that you selected in the Palette bar or Palette view
is placed on the canvas in the Editor view.
When you add a node
to the canvas, the editor automatically assigns a name to the node, but the
name is highlighted and you can change it by entering a name of your choice.
If you do not change the default name at this time, you can change
it later. The default name is set to the type of node for the first
instance. For example, if you add an MQInput node to the canvas,
it is given the name MQInput; if you add a second MQInput node, the default
name is MQInput1; the third is MQInput2, and so on.
