I just discovered that the stuff I committed for the 3D box tool also contained a patch for the ellipse tool that had accidentally slipped in.
Whoops, and another one ... (the last one, I promise). However, this one was just for my own purposes and is probably not desired in "official" Inkscape. But since it's in SVN now, I thought I'd ask if anything similar is useful to anybody before removing it.
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.
If no one has strong reasons to keep this, I'll remove it again because it gives the tool a kind of a "childish" feeling. But I still think that something similar can be handy. Any suggestions how to "do it right"? Or maybe this would "feel better" when moved over to the ellipse tool?
