Middle Of Line Snap Candidate

[ASUNDER]

Can we please get a snap candidate for the middle of lines, please.
So we can put a node right in the middle of lines quickly.  Quarter and/or third length snap candidates would be nice too.  We could toggle these in the snap settings.

To split curves with a new node:

Do one of the following:

• Ctrl-click (Mac) the node before the adjoining curve segment you want to add a midpoint node to and select Split Curve After Node.
•  Select a node, then click the same option on the context toolbar.

Which segment is split depends on the current curve orientation (indicated by a red-line indicator). Use Reverse Curve to change this curve orientation or reselect an adjacent node to split from.

I've discovered the pen tool gives us a middle of curve snap candidate, for adding a new curve to the middle of an existing one.

That's exactly the snap that I would want for the node tool too.

I would bet that the snap is for the centre of the bounding box. Does it still work if you turn off the Snap to "bounding box mid points"?

Ya, you're right.  It is so close to the middle because my line wasn't that crooked, it looked like the middle of the line, my fault.
