There are a few ways to create and run nodes besides the main toolbar.

Slash Commands

Entering /i a cat in the searchbar will create an image node and enter the prompt “a cat”. A full list of slash shortcuts and the parameter that any trailing text will be entered into is as follows:

/i *text* - Image *prompt*
/p *text* - Prompt *prompt*
/n *text* - Note *note text*
/a *text* - API *url*
/c *text* - Code *code*
/t *text* - Input *text input*

Chat Input

Entering a string of text that isn't a node in the searchbar will create a prompt node, enter the text, connect it to your last component and run it. This makes a more typical llm chat conversation pretty streamlined.
