Hello, for a start, I don't think there is other open vector graphics implementing meshes, I was shocked today to find that SVG standard seems to postpone the feature at best. I think SVG should be considered for other purposes too than web, like creating art, graphics resources for desktop projects too. Even CSS is partially implemented by Microsoft Outlook, but that did not stop them to add more features and evolve.
Now, my problem is using gradient mesh tool in Inkscape. Now I run the AppImage 1.1 beta versions and I have a gradient mesh that I'd like to modify.
I would need to be able to remove or merge some rows or columns, but a s long as that is not yet implemented, I must model it and I need a precise way to achieve some symmetrical result.
I try to rotate mesh handles, but there is no keyboard shortcut to work, apparently, or I could not find or define the right keyboard shortcut.
Is there a possible keyboard binding to mesh node handle operations like rotating, scaling etc., as for path nodes?
I must model it and I need a precise way to achieve some symmetrical result.
For example, the docs for the node tool:
Rotate handle (1 node selected)
[, ]rotate both handles by the angle step
The default angle step is 15 degrees. ] rotates clockwise, [ rotates counterclockwise. May apply to more than one node.
Left Ctrl+[, Left Ctrl+]rotate left handle by the angle step
Right Ctrl+[, Right Ctrl+]rotate right handle by the angle step
Left Alt+[, Left Alt+]rotate left handle by 1 pixel
Right Alt+[, Right Alt+]rotate right handle by 1 pixel
But that does not work in the gradient mesh, by contrast to moving nodes by arrows, which works. Maybe there's some action to be associated to a keyboard shortcut?

Thank you.
Not sure how a shortcut would help as the mesh gradient toll will do - no?
For example, the docs for the node tool:

@msdobrescu Can you make a list of the missing functions or shortcuts, and check if they have been reported by a search in gitlab here:
https://gitlab.com/groups/inkscape/-/issues
Maybe this one for example.
And if there is nothing, create a new issue. You can ask for help creating an issue if needed. It can then be added to the development tasks.
I see here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation/-/issues/41 the documentation is missing, so if they are, I am not aware of them.
Would be useful to know where the actions are defined in order to check them too.
Sorry, seemed to have posted in different thread...
