Graph Toolbar & Element Actions

The Graph toolbar is an overlay shown on the Graph canvas. It’s focused on searching, selecting, and modifying graph elements.

In-canvas element search

The search input supports matching against:

• Node/edge property values (string prefix match)
• IDs
• Relationship type (edges)
• Labels (nodes)

Keyboard behavior:

• Enter: jump/select the highlighted suggestion
• Arrow Up/Down: move through suggestions
• Esc: clear search

Selecting a suggestion zooms/fits the canvas around the matched element.

Element actions (create / delete)

When the user is not Read-Only, the toolbar supports:

• Add node
• Add edge (typically only enabled when two nodes are selected)
• Delete selected element(s)

These actions open additional UI (e.g., the Add panel) and/or call graph API routes.

Layout & limit warnings

The toolbar can display warnings when:

• The current query hit a result limit
• The configured limit changed relative to the last query
