- There is an RFE: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/321150
The proposed is like the new node tool's join action, but with a distance threshold. Implementing this should be easy, but I don't know how to present it in the UI. Ideas, anyone?
This sounds like a command for Path menu, not something specific to Node tool. Maybe also combine it with other cleanup operations, such as removing subpaths with zero or one node, and call "Clean up path". Its promise will be to preserve appearance for solid paths but possibly change it if there are markers or dashes.
- The method to switch to the transform handles to rotation mode is
very non-obvious. Currently it is Shift+R.
As we discussed, in Selector it's Shift+S, but we cannot use the same in Node because there it means turning node to smooth. We also shouldn't use Shift+R because it conflicts with reversing path (analogous to reversing gradient in Gradient tool). We need to use some globally unused, and ideally somewhat intuitive, Shift+letter combination. In addition to that we might add a toggle button for this, on Node as well as Selector controls bars.
