Improve pen tool - select all nodes in shape and delete segment

[jacek007g]

1. Delete segment of shape 
It's not handy to break curve and delete one node - especially when node you want to delete is covered by another. There's workaround (like nudging one node by 1px) but it's not fast.

2. Select all nodes in shape
Working with imported drawings that have many shapes with hundreds nodes and selecting them or extracting is really painfull. It would be great just to select one node of one shape and click "Select all nodes" button.

On your first point, I can't support this enough. Coming from environments that handle editing shapes really well, this is easily one of the most annoying aspects of using Affinity's tools.

INFURIATING doesn't begin to describe it. Made worse by the fact that their individual node editing is pretty good.

I think  they should add something like a command + delete shortcut to break and deleted a selected node, plus a right click with command held down on a node to instantly delete and break, effectively deleting the curve between the two previously adjoining nodes.

Similarly, Command plus right click on a curve, not on a node, should break and delete that section of the curve, to its two nodes.

On 2, if you use the menu item, this works. It doesn't work from the shortcut. Which is annoying me.
