I love the idea of right-clicking on an input and having a "get this data" option - a very elegant and brilliantly obvious idea. Thanks for sharing!

glad to help! =)

It has increased my productivity by around 30%.
Even though there's no way control node's position on the icetree viewer, I tend to compound as much as possible, so it still proved to be very useful and now it's something I can't live without anymore.

That shows how much time one expends just typing and cltr+c/ctrl+v'ing in the ice world.
Now I can focus 100% of the time on the logic and forget about typing.

To get this plugin running on 2013, open the addon with a texteditor and change all descriptions like this.

I'd ignore that, it's harmless. Or just edit that .js and comment out the RegisterCommand call.
