I have been using this tutorial and love it but have 2 things, one question and one suggestion. Can you add a button tracker that shows up on screen so people can follow the hot keys or key combinations you use. How do you copy a node group with the group inputs attached, around time step 37:11-37:17. For my question i have not been able to find anything on the web that shows me how to do that.

Hey Shane, thanks for your feedback! In my newer videos, I do actually use the screencast keys addon to show my keystrokes and everything, but when I was filming this series the addon wasn't working with the newer versions of Blender. It is now though! (At least when I remember to turn it on, since it doesn't automatically start when I open Blender. It's annoying, I know.) As for your question, the shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+D. So, the normal duplicate command, just with the added Ctrl key (Cmd if you're on a Mac, I think). If you have any other questions about shortcuts, most of the ones I use are covered in my shortcuts video at kzitem.info/news/bejne/sWyP3ml5f6yQYKg

@@ltfilm The command works great but i noticed that it made a copy that is linked to the original vs a separate duplicate/copy. I am not sure if this is a difference between my version of blender (3.2) or if i did something. Basically when i duplicate based on what you said it keeps the links but when i change the name it changes it on both the one i copied and the original so i don't get a new node group that i can edit. In addition to that when i group my nodes, like yours with Ctrl+G, it messes up the connections very differently then yours. I get a new value/input for each thing even if i use the same one multiple times (this would be similar to what you have happen in 32:52). Of note i am not being as organized as you are yet because i am playing around as i learn. Also if there is a better way to communicate with you than here please let me know.

Disregard the duplicate question, you did something on the group itself that i didn't see that makes it a true duplicate.

Shane, duplicates of groups are always linked together so that changes to one always affect the duplicates. To create a duplicate group that doesn't link the data, you'll need to create an independent copy by clicking the number next to the group name. As far as the messing up the connections when grouping, if you have a single input going to multiple nodes, and Blender is creating a new group input for each one, you can force it to create a single input by using Shift + Right drag to create a joining point for all of your pipes and include those joining points in the group. Blender will then treat there as being a single input, since there is just a single pipe going toward each of the joining points in your group.
