How about moving/dragging a node ("node A") along the "slope line" -- running through nodes A and B? (You'd have to select two and only two nodes for this. Then be able to drag A or B any which way along the slope line)
Right now this is supported only for adjacent nodes connected with linear segments.
Press and hold Ctrl+Alt. This will drag the node along its handle lines, and if an adjacent segment is linear it will drag it along that segment.
If you want to drag along a line between other nodes, here's a workaround: 1. turn on snapping to nodes and paths 2. draw a line between the nodes you have in mind 3. snap your node to the line you've drawn If you want to expand rather than shrink the diagonal, select the line you've drawn use the Ctrl+Alt to extend it.
All of the above will only work in 0.48.
