Intersting idea!When I read through your post, I instantly thought of bigger node points (0.91 feature), however I agree they clutter the painting...Then I thought - since this is a node tool feature - why not have some key that when pressed down, colors the closest node, and when left-click happens either moves the mouse pointer and grabs the node, or simply grabs the node and moves it to mouse pointer, which ever is simplest to implement?See screenshot for visual explanation.On 5 June 2016 at 14:11, Brynn <brynn@...3234...3...> wrote:Hi Friends,
I just was wondering something. Keeping in mind, as many of you
know, I'm not very technically oriented. So this could be totally
impossible. But it seems like it might be, and I guess it can't hurt to
ask.
I'm often doing a lot of node editing, and often snapping nodes to a
pixel grid. The part that slows me down the most is positioning the mouse
pointer precisely over a node, to be able to click it (select it) or move
it. Would there be any way to give Inkscape an optional feature that would
snap the mouse to something - like have it snap to nodes or handles? I
mean, snap the mouse pointer that is not dragging something yet.
The snap of the mouse would have to be disabled by the selection
click, I guess, so that you could move the node.
Well maybe there's a better way to accomplish this? Since recent
versions (I think 0.91 is when I first noticed it) you can make the nodes
and handles larger. But I find that blocks the drawing too much. I've also
tried making the Grab Sensitivity bigger. But that doesn't seem to affect
selecting nodes. And yes, I definitely drag a selection box, when possible.
But often it's not possible.
Of course I would be open to other ways, to make selecting
individual nodes easier. But I thought I'd ask if it's possible. It seems
like it ought to be possible.
Actually, this could help people who don't have very good mouse
control, to be able to use Inkscape easier. Oh! And it would be totally
awesome for the mouse to be able to snap to a guide, because those puppies
can be so frustrating to grab sometimes. Maybe such a feature would come
under the heading of accessibility?
Thank you very much,
brynn
