Say I have a path that is a line goes from left to right. The path has 6 nodes in total.
When I select node #3 and roll the mousewheel forward, the selection of nodes goes liket this (each line after one step forward)
- #3
- #3 #4
- #2 #3 #4
- #2 #3 #4 #5
- #2 #3 #4 #5 #6
- #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6
To having more control over wich nodes is to be selected I wish a feature that allows me to hold down Shift button while rolling, and only the nodes to left would be selected. Then I suggest holding down Ctrl would cause nodes that is located to right would be selected.
To depict this - here is how I wish Shift button would work. Same as above list, still #3 is the original selected node only and mouse pointer hover over it.
- #3
- #3 #4
- #3 #4 #5
- #3 #4 #5 #6
- #3 #4 #5 #6 (no more nodes here to be selected)
- #3 #4 #5 #6
Alternative:
- #3
- #3 #4
- #3 #4 #5
- #3 #4 #5 #6
- #3 #4 #5 #6 #1
- #3 #4 #5 #6 #1 #2
And holding Ctrl down would cause selection order to be:
- #3
- #2 #3
- #1 #2 #3
- #1 #2 #3 (no more nodes in that direction)
- #1 #2 #3
- #1 #2 #3
Alternative
- #3
- #2 #3
- #1 #2 #3
- #1 #2 #3 #6
- #1 #2 #3 #6 #5
- #1 #2 #3 #6 #5 #4
Thanks.
