Hello If I remember correctly, in the past you could press the little yellow triangle on the render node to activate or deactivate. Am I right? ![Screenshot 2024-08-24 at 8.39.27 a.m.](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thedepartmentofexternalservices/original/2X/9/97197f92a8f2401e4dd4d88e6de3adae765aeb36.png) ---

Still works. Have to hold ‘minus’ while clicking. Same as node disable. ---

I guess that is for Flame shortcuts. Do you happen to know Smoke shortcuts? ---

No, sorry. I learned Flame after the Smoke was gone 🙂 ---

Didn’t know that! I keep clicking through the list in node prefs to deselect (in case there’s an odd render node in batch I can’t even find) but minus wow that’s quick! ---

Does anyone knows the Smoke equivalent ? ---

May not exist. If you search the shortcut editor, the Flame shortcut is called ‘Toggle Node Bypass Status’. If you switch to Smoke Classic and search for that, there is no match. ---

This must have been eliminated recently. I clearly remember doing it under the influence of Smoke… ---

It is there in Smoke but without a setup shortcut. Don’t forget to be inside batch before going to the shortcut editor, as flame won’t show a lot of batch shortcuts if you are in another hub ---

Yah its available in Smoke Hotkeys, its just not active by default. Im away from my Flame right now but its called Toggle/Bypass Node or something like that. ---

There’s also a Render List section down at the bottom of the UI where you can turn them on and off fwiw. ---

Hi In smoke keys there is no key set by defailt. I’ve set anything related to by-passing to ctl-opt-b (eg hide effect in the timeline) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thedepartmentofexternalservices/original/2X/b/b251cf3ae7d71d8af1b522ad9eae03a0f69f57eb.jpeg)
