When using the pencil tool I sometimes find myself just clicking on the canvas to mark a spot with a single dot (like a single node, but a bit more visible). Since curves containing just a single nodes are not possible, I thought it might be convenient to create a small circle instead. The mentioned patch makes this possible; simply Ctrl+clicking on the canvas while in the pencil tool creates a circle with the last-used style and a fixed (hard-coded) radius.
Please add appropriate context help message for status bar ;-) Otherwise one simply won't know this feature exists.
And a couple more notes on the feature:
1. 'Create single point' message in Undo History is grouped under 'Draw path'. I think it deserves its own group ;-)
2. There's no way to define radius/diameter of the point.
3. Points should probably be measured in screen pixels and be relative. Or meaybe not. This is a highly controversial stuff :-)
