Or a related theme, there is no way to scale/rotate a subset of the nodes of an object in Inkscape (rather than rotating/editing the whole object).
Not from the toolbar, but the keyboard shortcuts for scale (, and .) and rotate ([ and ]) work on the selected nodes in node edit mode.
I often use scale to produce shapes such as trapezia. I draw a rectangle, convert it to a path, select the two adjacent points I want to be the narrow end, and hit "," to scale them down. That way I know the trapezium is symmetric and that the two parallel edges are parallel.
Nice tip! I was thinking the same some days ago... As I tried to learn some blender I (as used to) tried s/r after selecting some nodes - but of course it doesnt work. (btw, I like the way blender let you skale / rotate by moving the mouse but it seems not possible in inkscape?)
Would be cool to have an window you can display with a map of your keyboard and all shortcuts on it that you can access right now.
