How to see the node (green and red) in desktop mode?

[Babell99]

Hi guys,

I am working on a scene while in desktop mode. I work for hours so doing this in VR is hell. I am wondering ... is there a way to see the person control node (seen as green and red dot) in desktop mode? I am not able to find it ...is it a key or an option? I am losing a lot of time hunting for the correct node to edit...

press T? (to show targets)
If you only see green (active), click on "crosshair" icon (to toggle display inactive/red targets).
If you have hard time selecting overlapped nodes, use C to cycle through highlighted (mouseover) part.

As RandomVAMUser said. In addition I recommend using my PowerHandles plugin when working in Desktop Mode. It helps a lot against accidentallly rotating instead of moving or moving the wrong objects or accidentally moving anything at all. It can also make the handles smaller, so you can keep a better view when there are lots of things in a small area. PowerHandles is part of my "Essentials" plugin collection:
