@lilith no. Xara and gimp.

When using the pen tool now: you can add nodes by clicking on the path, and add handles by click and drag on the nodes. When using the control key you can use a lot of the functions of the node tool.
What I would like to see is that the deleting of nodes would work the same way as in the node tool.
-
@FastVector: yeah, my case is for removing the modifier. Why do we need it? Try Gimp once and see for yourself. It makes perfect sense to do the entire operation without any modifier whatsoever.
The precedent for this was set by the ill conceived illustrator pen tool which splits two logically related, sequentially performed operation, creating curves and manipulating nodes.
I'm recommending that we get rid of it the unnecessary modifier key.
Double clicking adds a node.
Middle clicking the node removes nodes. Simple. Clear. Economic.

Middle clicking the node removes nodes.
Currently, clicking directly on an existing node adds a new node in the exact center of the path - this is a tool I'd not want to lose, though I could see adding a modifier to it since it's less commonly used than erasing a node

... clicking directly on an existing node adds a new node in the exact center of the path ...
press the plus key "+" once does exact the same
-
@Boldline For me this is only working when I'm using the node tool and then I've to double click on a existing node. (I quess something different in my settings for the pen tool)

Could be a settings issue. Send me your workspace/settings files (Help -> Reveal Workspace).

Using Ctrl+a while the Node Tool is selected
will select all Nodes of a Shape.

How about single clicking curve to add a node. Double clicking a node to delete the node?
-
A single click to add a node seems too risky to me, since its
used to select a section of a path, and it's easy to click accidentally.And double-clicking a path to delete a node?
I'm not really convinced.A modifier key to delete a node seems like a better solution
in my eyes.

Made a video of how the pen tool is working for me.
The first part i'm just working with the pen tool without any keys.
The second part I'm using the control key. It's for me not totally working the same as the node tool. By double clicking on a node I don't get a new node in the middle but it will go to the object isolation mode. And to delete a node I've to go to the context bar.

i think i see it, adding a Node doesnt work when you
activate the Node Tool with the Control Key.
Your are right its the same here.Seems if you activate the Node Tool with the Control Key
that the Node Tool its a bit limited then.Adding a Node works only by selecting the Node Tool
direct.
