It is a pain to keep visiting the toolbox for every widget.
Taking a leaf out of Labview, how about having it such that clicking on a port and dragging creates a pre-connected constant or readout entity of that type depending on if it is an input or outpur? Arrays would produce multi-line version of the same.
2:
Some widgets are large compared to what they actually do. How about having a minimal version of each constant type widget. E.g instead of a boolean stating "True" or "False", an alternate minimised view would just show 0 or 1 or perhaps T or F.
3:
How about a live preview of the type and content of the data on each wire, this would help diagnose problems.
