Option to select all nodes on a path with one click by also pressing alt/option modifier

[Boldline]

I saw this Illustrator trick on Instagram today and it seemed like a useful thing.
If you hold down the alt/option key while clicking on a node of a path, the entire path will be selected. I know available modifier keys are scarce these days, but it could be a neat option with any modifier

@Boldline I added this to the features backlog.

@Boldline that's one of my favourite features in Illustrator!
Just wanted to say in VS you can achieve the same: click on a node and press Control +A... oops that's 1 or 2 extra moves. But it works.

@William-Kansepa Compare curious why you select all nodes mainly for what operation to do preparation? I also often select all nodes, mainly using node optimization tools.

The primary feature here is to select all nodes of a sub-path (a section of a combined path) to move around or transform

Apart from that i find it useful to select all Nodes of a Shape this way
i find it also helpful for to add new Nodes the Corel Way

Select a node, then press CTRL+A to select all nodes
and then press "+" as many times as you need and
you have evenly inserted Nodes all around the Shape
