[Inkscape-devel] Deleting a node with Ctrl+Alt+click

Hello,

I've just noticed that one can delete a node from a path with the node tool by Ctrl+Alt+clicking it. This is so useful I'm surprised I don't see this mentioned in the Release Notes for 0.43. Was this already working before the /extremely useful/ recent additions to node editing?

Also, I don't understand this, also in the Release Notes:

"As in Selector, if you press Shift before starting to drag, you always get a node selection rubberband rectangle (even if you start on a path [but not a node!])."

P.S. If double-click creates a new node, shouldn't double-clicking a node delete it?
