Inserting a block

The block tree is a dockable widget that allows the user to browse through the available processing blocks, read documentation, and to add blocks to the topology editor.

• The block tree is a dock widget, and can be moved and re-positioned within the main window.
• If the block tree widget is not visible, make sure that "Block Tree" is checked under the view menu.
• Block can be added via drag-and-drop, double clicking on a block, or clicking the block tree's "Add" button.
• To search the block tree for a given block, enter keywords into the search bar at the top of the block tree.
• Hit the Ctrl+F key sequence at any time to make the block tree visible, and give focus to the search bar.
