How select nodes?

let’s say I have 2 parallel curves that are close to each other… I would like to select the nodes of one of the 2 curves without also taking the nodes of the other.
how do I do it?
if I box the nodes I also intercept the nodes of the other curve and I haven’t found a button to select or exclude individual nodes so as to form a group that I can move all together without moving near parts that I don’t want to touch.

I simulated a situation where by squaring some nodes I take one that I would like to exclude from the group, please can you tell me how to do it?

At MAC it is the command button “CMD”+mouse click on the specific node to deselect it

on windows i cant find a button that allows me to select and deselect a single node.
i can select a set of nodes by making a box but i cant find any button that allows me to deselect or add a node to the selected group.
I thought that by pressing ctrl + mouse on a node I could exclude/include it, but it doesn’t work.
sometimes i select a group of nodes and move them all together but i can do it only if there are no other nodes that i don’t want to move.
in the screenshot i roughly drew an example in which with the box you can’t avoid also taking a node that i would like to understand if it can be deselected individually.

I tried every key combination I could think of and was not able to deselect a node once it’s been selected. I looked in the docs and there is no mention of this function either.

What you can do though is select a node(s) and hold shift and click to add nodes to the selection.

I’ve just tested it on my Linux Ubuntu computer, here I don’t have the option to deselect single nodes either, so it’s only a Mac OS option, strange…

using shift I can only select individual nodes but I can’t deselect them, it would be enough if shift worked both to turn them on and off.
in this way by framing various nodes in a box I could choose to deselect the ones I don’t want to move.

this doesn’t seem possible now, I hope it should be possible in the new versions, maybe it would be useful.

Holding the shift key while clicking adds to the selection. Currently, there is no combo-key(s) to deselect a node.

Yes, thoroughly understand. Will raise internally for further discussion and reply back. Thanks :slight_smile:

It is only “cmd+left mouse click” used for deselection of the specific nodes.
If it is something that is only in beta version, please delete my video.

thank you, it work only on Mac os.

in windows i tried all the keyboard with shift or ctrl combinations and none of them works.
i trust that in the future it will be solved, being able to select/deselect specific nodes would be very useful.

I am considering whether it is a bug in the program, but in this case one we will keep. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Has probado con con la letra


D?

Update to the selection / deselection of nodes has been added to the next release - Hold Ctrl+click a node to remove, or click off the shape to deselect nodes.
