- Is there an easy way of creating a closed Bezier curve? Of course,
one can create an open one and then connect endpoints, but it is a long process...
In freehand and bezier tools, just press 'a'. It will then display anchors at both ends of the curve being created, and by drawing to these anchors you will close the curve.
And closing a curve in node editor is in fact not difficult at all.
- When copying an object, the copied object is put at exactly the same
position as the original. Am I the only one who finds it inconvenient? I frequently need to have several copies of the same object in different places my drawings, and selecting one of the two objects which are literally on top of each other is awkward, especially if the objects are small. I'd much prefer that "paste" creates a floating object, which follows mouse cursor, and you click to show where to put it. What do the usability experts say about such an idea?
Actually you CAN move a pasted or duplicated object with arrow keys, because it's selected. Press ctrl-d and then arrows, it's very convenient imho. But I plan to change the paste command so it by default pastes in the center of the visible canvas, and a variant of this command (e.g. with shift or alt) pastes to where the object was copied from.
