These are all workable, but require extra clicks or keypresses after the click and therefore make the process slower. Maybe an optionkey that will draw a node without continuing to do something else?

It's certainly not that we need multiple ways for one function, it's more that the "easy way" to do something all of a sudden vanished. And as people are a lazy bunch, we don't want to do anything more that we used to. ;) >> have.

I've had spurious crashes that drove me mad. Taught me to save early=save often. There seems to be a bad bug that's either related to having a lot of edits or a lot of data (maybe when the java engine is pushing its memorylimits?) But that's a different discussion and I can't make any hard cases about it anyway, except that it "occasionally happens".
