Node tool, drag select - short key: How do I select and activate every nodes in same shape?

@Raaskot

To select all nodes of a Shape
use the Note Tool do a left click on
the shape and press Ctrl+A on Windows

instead of left click, hovering over a shape
and press Ctrl+A works also

@Subpath
So cool, thanks!

@Raaskot

indeed

but I have to correct myself a little
select at least one node of that shape
and then press Ctrl+A
this will work better if you have many shapes

@Subpath
Thanks. Noticed the same when I tried it out, very useful. Like VS procedure better than in AI

Had some trouble with my free video provider
seems solved

i like to add that using Ctrl + A for selecting all
Nodes of a Shape has an additional Effect

see this video here

Very nice, thanks.
Cool tip with adding nodes. Off topic: How do you reduce nodes again?

The Simplify Path has no effect.

@Raaskot

good question

of course undo

the only other ways i found was via History Panel
( Menu > Panels > Edit > History )

or via a Lasso selection

@Subpath
Guess I'll report a bug ...

@Raaskot

I was thinking about using the " - " (Minus) Key
for delete nodes was inserted via plus key ?

@Subpath
Would make sense with "-" --> node reduction, but it doesn't seems work.

And odd: It appears the reduce node function actually works yet on and off only. As if you must deselect and reselect the shape everytime.

Strange ...
