I'm not sure I understand.  Are you looking for f2 or n, to engage the Node tool?

Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] Keyboard shortcut for the "edit object"functionality.

 Hi,

 I can invoke the "edit object" functionality by double clicking on an object. I would like to bind a key to this functionality. Is this possible?

About the Edit object functionality :
For paths, double clicking switches to Node tool; for shapes, to corresponding shape tool; for text, to Text tool. For groups, double clicking performs the "Enter group" command.

Regards,
Dipak
