Thanks. Good to know that something is being done about it. I liked it a lot better when holding ctrl allowed me to add nodes instead of delete segments.

Looks very much like it is not a design decision:

How so? In previous versions if you hold control with the pen tool active it would enable the node tool, then you could click anywhere on the path to add a node at that location. In the new version when you hold control node tool activates then the delete segment part of the tool activates making it so you can never add a new node without manually switching your tool from pen to node. How is it that it is by design?

I noticed that when holding control while using the pen tool instead of being able to add new nodes to a path it now deletes the segment. I think this is because holding control while using the pen tool activates the node tool and the node tool has a hold control and click to delete segment now. So holding control while using the pen tool is activating the node tool then inadvertently activating the delete option.

Before this version when drawing with the pen tool you could hold control to click somewhere on the line and it would create new nodes for you. It was incredibly useful but now when holding control it instead deletes the segment. Is there a way to make it go back to the old functionality? I don't want to have to switch back and forth between the node and pen tools. Edit: I think this is actually a bug now. I noticed that holding control with the pen tool active counts as using the node tool, and the node tool now has the interaction that holding control and clicking deletes a segment. Thus I think while using the pen tool and holding control it is activating the node tool and then activating the delete functionality. I guess I'll submit a bug report.
