Is there a keystroke to create Label for a constant in Block Diagram and another to make it visible or not?

Hello all

 

I am a hugh fan of some of the qucikdrop and keystroke combinations.   I was wondering if there is a keystroke to create a label for a newly constant in the Block Diagram?

For example your create a string constant there is no label. 

You have to righ click to make it visible and then write label. It would be nice if you did not have to right click to allow label text prompt. 

 

Also is there a keystroke to make the label visible or hidden?

 

What are some of your favorite quickdrop or keystroke shortcuts?

 

Thanks for suggestions.

Maybe it's simpler to double-click on an empty space on the BD?

A label for a diagram constant (inside or outside a cluster) is not the same as a free label.

Wow, I completely misread the post.  Thank you for straightening me out.
