The following keyboard shortcuts and modifiers help you work within the Node View.

Shift allows the node to move freely. When the grid is disabled,
holding down Shift locks it to the grid. Grid width and height
parameters are in the guiControls subtree of the Globals tab.
Del (near Home/End keys) or
Delete Delete the selected nodes. If the branching is not complicated, the
noodles between the parent(s) and children automatically reattach
to each other.

Control-Alt-click and drag, or Control-middle click and drag).
