You can also ⌃ Ctrl + Alt-click while drawing a wire to insert a pinned dot "on the fly".

8 while dropping node

Holding 8 temporarily disables wiring the node in if you drop the node on a wire. This lets you drop a node without worrying about accidentally rewiring it if there is an existing wire in the same area.

If you've turned off Tools ▸ Allow dropping nodes on wires, then holding 8 temporarily enables dropping a node onto a wire to wire it in.

P
