Using Mouse to Delete Nodes

[debraspicher]

Is there a way to easily delete nodes that doesn't involve right click and selecting from the menu? In Corel, we can just double-click and it'll retain the line as much as it can. That's very helpful for node clean up.

Double click on a Node inserts a Node in the middle between
two Nodes in Vectorstyler.

Maybe the middle mouse button could be used for this ?
Then with one click

But i dont know how happy Mac user would be with a solution like this.

Define another Shortcut Key then the Back Key would be another Idea.
A gaming mouse with a few more buttons may be also a possible solution?

@Subpath I think Affinity uses Ctrl + click. Don't quote me as I barely use it now. Holding a modifier to achieve this would be fine.

It might even be better for users with drawing tablets that there's a modifier key because that way it's not calling for a double click as some people turn that off to avoid issues with line defects when speed drawing/painting.

Edit: I put my designs through a cutting machine sometimes so I have to clean up paths before I do this. Especially if they're Pencil-drawn lines. Almost always have to go back and tidy up things.

@debraspicher Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why not just use the delete key to erase the nodes? VS does a very good job of maintaining the path even after deletion of certain nodes

Select the node and press Delete, this is the easiest way.
