I think this feature was added in Inkscape version 1.x.
I do not see this feature being talked about nor any videos on it.
I think it is useful and can help when you are designing and creating.
You can copy any portion of the nodes in a stroke, copy them, and paste them elsewhere for later use. You do not have to cut out or "extract" the nodes from your starting object.
This can be handy when you see a "portion" or area of a?path that you wish to re-usenor use indepently.
You press N on your selected patg, chose your desired nodes, and then copy them into memory. Next, you can paste them to a different spot in Inkscape.
All kinds of new designs can be formed by taking advantage of this feature
This tip is very helpful. I did something similar to this, in several programs. For example, I always used crop marks in various arts... so I saved them in a file and, when I needed them, I just imported them.
Thanks. Yes. It is good to know of alternative steps and ways to do things. And, to avoid having to do thensame work again and again, saving time and effort.
I wanted to test "Copy nodes" as indicated by Ken Wilson here: https://inkscape.org/forums/tutorials/copy-nodes-feature/ Initially I selected 3 nodes in this shape, with the objective of having an open curve: After pasting, I get this closed curve:
Thank you for your always nice answers to my silly observations.😕 I am more and more amazed by all that Inkscape allows and I am only at the beginning of the adventure and the discoveries.
French_80, there is nothing silly about what you say or share here. I applaud and encourage you to keep on experimenting and dabbling. We are all still learning. Flex you muscles, mind, and heart. Keep on keeping on!

A cool thing is to use the copied paths to assemble patterns or decorative borders from them.
We all can use our imaginations and experiment to create many results.
