When are connetions straight or curved?

[Axel]

I was just wondering - when are the connections between nodes straight and when are they curved? Is there a way to influence this?

For complex workflows it might be a nice feature to “reroute” the connections a little bit. In my case I have a larger loop and the connection back goes right through a couple of nodes.

Hi @Axel, it’s too late and maybe you are an n8n expert now HAHAH, but I will put this here.
I don’t think there’s a way to move the edges between nodes as you want freely, but I found a workaround for this. Just use the Do Nothing node to make the lines more organized.
IDK if this makes it more complex for you

Nice, I have suggestion for the n8n team to create special small node (call it “Shape Node”) for this reason.

I use a no-op node to redirect things

I get that, but I’d prefer a smaller node to save space and make the entire diagram more readable.
