I have a couple of questions/suggestions about nodes.
1. Is it possible to insert new nodes on a path, kind of a 'reverse simplify', preferably "insert new node at cursor position".
2. I would like to create shapes that exactly match other shapes, at least in part. This would involve duplicating nodes from other shapes. Currently this can be done with many steps, such as duplicating the other shape, creating a new shape that overlaps it, and using a boolean operation to cut away the new shape so that it matches the edge of the other shape. I could do this a lot easier if I could just select a node on the current image and get Inkscape to make it exactly match the closest node on the adjacent object. A few iterations of the above option (add a node near the cursor) and this option (snap current node to nearest node) would give me what I want.
3. With the Node Editing tool selected, is there a way of selecting the next or previous object? Ideally I'd like a keyboard shortcut for this. I know the concept of "next" and "previous" object is not very strong, so something similar such as being able to bind a keyboard shortcut to selecting a particular object would do, so I could bind, say, Shift-1 and Shift-2 to the two objects and switch selection between them this way.
Are there any features like these already that I don't know about?
