Visibility & Lock
| Action | Shortcut (Mac) | Shortcut (Win/Linux) |

The label toggles based on the node's current state (e.g., "Hide" for a visible node, "Show" for a hidden one).
Move to Page
The Move to page submenu lists all pages except the current one. Select a page to reparent the selected nodes under that page's canvas.
Tips
- Right-clicking empty canvas gives you access to Paste — useful for placing content at a specific location.
- Component actions only appear when relevant (e.g., "Create instance" only for component nodes).
- The context menu mirrors the keyboard shortcuts — it's a good way to discover shortcuts you don't know yet.
