Comment 2 for bug 422943

Actually, to better illustrate, you should view this video, it is of course in inkscape, however, it's not exactly what Flash does.

However, the following "features" do not exist in flash where Inkscape has them:

-- Fill when editing nodes as shown in the video (This shouldn't even be possible as the fill area is not bounded)

-- Cannot fill "unbounded" area even though the area does look bounded.

Flash has these things where your "node editor" does not:

-- Quick access to bending lines using such a "Node editor" as shown in the video by holding LEFT CRTL while on the pencil tool / line tool.

-- Holding Shift when on the "node editor" turns the tool into the selection tool.

Where you have a node editor, Flash has a line bender. When the selection tool is active, you hover over a line, flash changes the selection tool to have a curve icon to the upper right of the mouse pointer. This curve icon lets you know that you can bend lines at will (like your edit paths by node.)

==================

Another feature I would like to soggest is actually being able to fill an area that you've made with "paths" or "lines" completely with the fill tool instead of making "no fill blotches" here and there where no fill exists near bends in the lines.
