@Boldline Yes, I hovered there intentionally. I added to the backlog an option to block these. On the other hand, the point of the node tool is to select deep into objects, and that clipped out brick shape is there. I think there is a use case for both (allowing selection of these or not).

@Victor-Vector I got to fix the right alt issue.

@vectoradmin Oh brilliant! You called it. Turning "Adjust Node Removal Curvature" on or off, saving preferences, closing VS, reopening VS, trying to delete nodes will respect the previous saved on or off preference. Thanks for troubleshooting the problem, I hope it is a quick fix.

I am not fixated on a solution. I was thinking about it while I was playing with pattern creation in VS And I like to use Clones for that. With Circles Sections, I do it this way. [image: 1648470388888-symmetrie-1.png] Doing that with (cloned) Polygon Shape Sections would offer the possibility to distribute the pattern and it would keep the Shape editable.

@vectoradmin said in Exit text editing mode: @encart Yes, it seems that on Window using Esc does not completely "exit" text editing. Indeed, verified on my Windows 10 machine too.

@vectoradmin For some reason the secondary image did not post in my most recent comment you replied to on here. I'll add it there retroactively to avoid confusion and here as well Right now with this situation, my issue is that sometimes the clipping vector wants to be selected when I am trying to grab things behind it all In the attached image, I was trying to modify the black fill and white stroke (1) but it kept thinking I wanted to select the white box pattern inside the item above (2) [image: 1648339860144-bc0508b4-5531-4bf7-8faf-3b7e1e3732fe-bld-2022-03-25-at-17.04.45-resized.png]

@Nils said in Applying styled group: Or should I not overvalue that and just apply separation as I see fit ( everything clone related into one, everything symbol related into another, etc. .. )? Yes.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@Victor-Vector Added this to the backlog as a feature request.

@Nils said in Artboard roles: So, for example, in the acyclic graph, a fill could be the leaf of an object node, right? And if this object then has another "fill style" leaf, that fill leaf gets redirected towards every other object that uses the fill style. Something along these lines correct ( fill style implementation could be different I guess? )? Yes, fill / stroke nodes can be shared in multiple branches. But the real value comes when sharing whole groups of objects. I see, this reminds me a lot Flutter's tree structure with configuration and render trees. Did you draw some inspiration there? If yes, nice work! Not inspired by, but I'm sure others have done something like this. It is quite common when an "abstract" model is slow to process, to have a parallel "realized / compiled" model. The basis for the VS document model was coded in 2013 (i just checked Flutter is started in 2015). Couldn't you just insert a locked rectangle in the tree upon artboard creation, which you'd then prevent from showing up in the layers panel? Would not really help and would create a lot of problems with Layers.

@Nils Added this to the backlog.

@vectoradmin Thanks. How did I overlook that. Sigh.. However, I still think there'd be some value in separately stylable stroke-widths.. Especially since the other sub-attributes are already definable as styles.

@vectoradmin Yes, for example a sub-menu enabling the following workflow: In the canvas panel, click the hamburger menu and select the "Expand to" sub-menu, then select either of "Canvas", expands to canvas level of if categories selected: specific categories else: all categories sub-menu "Artboard", then select either of "All", expands to artboard level of if categories selected: all canvases of specific categories elseif canvases selected ( ignore any selected categories ) : specific canvases elseif artboards selected: greyed out else: all canvases of all categories "{ x }", expands to artboard level of x = First: first canvases x = Integer: canvases at index ( a bit overkill, but there's always improvement to good UX.. ) x = Last: last canvases .. of if categories selected: specific categories elseif canvases/artboards selected: greyed out else: all categories p.s. : should have just written pseudo-code, lol

@Boldline Looks like the node at the second click (upper right side) turns into cusp when the first node is clicked. Then clicking it as cusp will remove it.

@Nils Forgot to mention: (2) can be configured in the Layers panel menu Panel Options (bottom) by checking Double Click Renames option (bottom-right).

@fde101 See my comment to @vectoradmin, where I described how JetBrains perfectly solved this issue.
