Conifer's Socket Hider (v1.0)
This tool hides every unused group input socket at once.Latest Release (v1.0) (1.2 KB)
About
When working with node groups in complex shaders and geometry nodes, your tree can get really messy.Even if you hide all group inputs manually, with CTRL H, as you add more inputs values, new sockets keep showing up regardless.
That’s why I made this simple script, which lets you hide all unused sockets in all group input nodes in the node tree which is currently being viewed… all at once!
There’s no need to manually search for and select all group input nodes either, it’s a one click cleanup solution.
It works in Geometry Nodes, Shader Nodes and all other node editors.
There is also a keyboard shortcut.
Requirement: Blender 2.8 or later
How to use
In any node editor window, bring up the sidebar. (keyboard shortcut N)
You will find a button named “Hide All Sockets” in the “Group” tab.
Alternatively you can use the keyboard shortcut. (CTRL SHIFT H)
You don’t have to select any nodes, it will automatically find all group input nodes, however only within the node group you are curently viewing.
