Bug Description

When I work on a spiro I mostly select nodes with (SHIFT+)TAB. But to be able to insert a node I have to SHIFT + mouse click the next/previous node with my touchpad. It would be great to have a shortcut to do this.

It may not quite be what you want, or as convenient, but the Shift+D combination will "dupe" the node you've tab-selected. The new node is spliced into the path at the same location and becomes the selected node. You can then position the new node to wherever you like it.

I propose Shift+N / Shift+P insert a new node between the existing single node and the Next / Previous one on the path (at the midpoint). These letters do not appear to do anything in Node tool context. Would this be of use to you?

Working on a spiro SHIFT+D duplicates the whole path and not just a node, so is not working for me.

SHIFT + N/P would be awesome and I guess not just of use to me.

Ah, ja, confused... SHIFT + D works of course. Ty.

Changed the title to reflect the actual object of the report.
Indeed, Shift+N and Shift+P would be very convenient (and they are still available).
