It's kinda like opposite of "remove and rewire".

In some cases we need to insert two end function node to wire repeatly, for example I might need to insert a lot feedback node when debugging FPGA code.

Right now we need to select a wire, select function (4+ clicks or so?), let alone we have to move the mouse cursor.

It would nice if we can set a shortcut for these kind of operation, say, we might select a wire(or maybe more then one wire?), then we press like  Ctrl+1, we will automatically insert function 1 in this wire(s), which user could config themself.

When debugging a program, I'd love to have a node similar to the "abort vi" node that programmatically pauses execution instead of stops it completely.  You might say this is the place for a conditional breakpoint, but unless I create my own custom ones, it's hard to make something that breaks on, say, the third time an error of this type occurs.

I have places in the code where I throw an error that is fatal(-ish), but it isn't caught until much further downstream.  In order to find which of the many calling vis triggered this error, I have a few options:

1) I can list the call chain.  This works, but still takes until the point the error is caught by my error handler popup to actually list the full problem, and due to either programmer error or bad design, can sometimes be overwritten by other errors thrown and badly merged further down the line.

2)  I can delete the error wires throughout the program and ensure automatic error handling is enabled.  This pops up the problem immediately, but often I don't have enough context to know if the error is the one I'm trying to track down, and my only options are to continue or stop.

3) I can throw multiple conditional error probes or breakpoints throughout the program, which works, but both are ephemeral as most of the time they're cleared using the "delete all breakpoints" button, and probes are lost when you close the window.  I'd like a more permanent and preventative solution.
