KNIME Nugget in Action:

Imagine you’re working on a complex workflow with numerous nodes. Instead of manually clicking through each node, you can use the “Execute selected node” (F7) and “Execute all nodes” (Shift+F7) shortcuts to quickly run your workflow. When you need to make changes, the “Reset node” (F8) shortcut comes in handy. And for a selected node, the “Open configuration” (F6) and “Show results table” (SHIFT+F6) shortcuts provide instant insights.
