Ok,

There are now loads of people using Inkscape. We all know the instructions don't tell you a lot, and most of what we learn is by accident.

I have discovered a few little shortcuts whilst playing with it, so maybe others have too. How about everyone sharing their tips and tricks, so we can all become experts.

Here's mine.

If you want to see the nodes, double click the selected item, it will display them.

To add an additional node, when viewing the nodes, double click where you want it to go.

Selecting a text letter and pressing Ctrl L will convert it to a path and simplify it simultaneously.

If you have a scroll mouse, press Ctrl and move the wheel to make the zoom in or out. Press shift and move the wheel to move the screen left and right.

Don't bother with cut and paste. Just hit Ctrl D for an instant copy.

This is all I can think of for now.
I look forward to any other tips and tricks.
