    Numbered Text (ComfyUI custom node)

    Node for handling text with automatic numbering of divisions and extraction of selected division(s).

    A new text division is created for every Return/Enter.

    Pick a text divison via the index and output only that text’s content (without the optional “n. ” prefix). Alternatively select several text divisions and an optional separator string. Empty lines are ignored.

    Lightweight, no additional dependencies.

    1-based indexing.

    Usage ideas

    I find it useful for prompts. You get a new idea, hit enter and start anew without discarding the old; select, go back, combine; or you can load/paste a list of frequently used prompts and save/copy them for later. May also be useful in combination with a save node for several disk locations, etc.

    Installation

    1. Copy the folder to ComfyUI/custom_nodes/

    cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/

    Double-click and search for “Numbered Text”.

    2. Installation via ComfyUI Manager

    ⚠ Note: Installing via Manager requires that your security_level in config.ini is set to weak (default is high), due to external URL restrictions.

    1. Set security_level = weak in ComfyUI\user\default\ComfyUI-Manager\config.ini
    2. Open ComfyUI Manager → Install from URL
    3. Paste the repository URL:
