Yes, well. Unfortunately, I'm getting to that age that developing habits is the 
way to use everything. Learning new tricks every day gets tiring.

To continue my rant: N used to be the method to place one node only. That seems 
to have disappeared too. It looks like I now have to start drawing a way with A 
and then press escape to end drawing the way so I can change its properties.
Also not an improvement. I'm interested to know what the reasoning behind that was.
