Hi,

I asked this question about 3 years ago and it seems to have been raised even before then - when we will given the ability to disable blocks?

What we endure now -

- Move block and all the blocks below it out of a chain
- Move blocks below block in question back into the chain
- Hope that we put it back exactly where it belongs

What we want -

- Right Click
- Click Disable

This is a prime example of how the focus on the implementation of AI features has taken away from the addition of relatively simple aspects of functionality.

Agreed, this would be a really nice feature.

One workaround I use all the time is to create a function called something like “Disabled” or “Quarantine”. When I want to temporarily disable a block, I click it, press Ctrl+X, and paste it into that function.

Because the function isn’t called from anywhere, it effectively has the same result as disabling the block. As a bonus, you can leave notes around the disabled code to remind yourself where it came from and exactly where it needs to slot back in if you decide to re-enable it later.

It’s not as elegant as a right-click → Disable option, but I’ve found it much safer than pulling blocks apart and trying to remember how they fit back together afterwards.
