Hi,

as said, I am gradually enhancing old colde (GDraw, google it up, like 10 years old) which needs to be restructured to handle a lot of things better.

Excellent! Big things which I need are for the key-modifiers to work
w/ the pen tool:

  - shift constrain seems to be over-applied / sticky --- it should
only read the shift state when holding the key (to show where the path
will be constrained to) --- releasing the shift key should restore
freedom in placing the next node and it should allow one to place the
next node w/ some sort of systematic constraint (sometimes it overly
aggressively forces the node to be 90 or 180 degrees from the
previously placed one)
I entered a bug about this. THings do work for me, but I will rememebr to check better.

About stickyness, it works for me! Also, I can rotate in 45/90 degree intervals. However, there is some commeted or old code here and there about constraints, i will check that

  - holding down command should allow one to move the just placed node

  - holding down alt/option should allow one to move off-curve points
independently of one another
Yes, that is a detail I miss from CorelDraw. Also A feature needed to "split" or get out existing hidden point when they merge. I don't know how how ti handle this yet, thus I entered a feature request about it.

  - clicking near the first placed node should close the path
It works for me! Perhaps it is not reliable, i will do some testing.


Also, tool buttons need to highlight / depress and the cursor needs to
change to reflect the currently selected tool.

The cursor doesn't change... that's true, but it is a minor thing, The buttons do lightly in the toolbox. They don't for you?
