Place a node over wires without it auto-connecting Sometimes I'll be trying to place a node and there is a wire beneath it in the way. By "in the way" I mean that if I place the node where I want to it will automatically connect in a way I don't intend it to. Is there a some way to simply drop the node in place without connecting the wires?

I've tried all the modifier keys but nothing worked.

Also, I don't want want to disable auto-connect entirely, but I would like to be able to momentarily disable it.
The auto-connecting feature is currently inseparable from the Node Editor's translate operations, but you can press Alt + D to Detach the node after moving it, effectively "undoing" the auto-connect.
