Description

In order to create a node graph with the MaterialX Graph Editor the user needs to create a node graph node, double click on it to dive into that node and then add nodes inside that node graph node. Nodes that already exist can only be added to a node graph node by copying or cutting and pasting. I think it would be better for the user experience if there was a hot key that would create a node graph node and add all the selected nodes to it.
