"Alt + Drag" Support for Node Tool
Summary
If you work a lot with the Selection Tool
, you are probably accustomed to Alt + Drag
in any part of the canvas with objects selected to move them. You can't do that with selected nodes. This decreases the consistency of Inkscape and the UX a lot being that you need to clicking and hold + drag on one of them to move all selected nodes, which can be even more difficult with Node Handles enabled and a big screen size.
How it should work
- select 2 objects with the selection tool
- move out the mouse so it does not overlap the objects
- hold alt (different modifier this one is taken ) and click and drag
this behavior but for nodes
why is this useful
Sometimes you have too many nodes next to etch other its hard to click and drag on the target.
