Bug Description

Many of the curves I make are symmetrical. Instead of recreating all nodes, I would like to copy and paste the node info (handle length and angle) so I can re-use existing nodes without having to recreate them from scratch.

A shape mirroring system would be handy as well.

Launchpad's bug tracker does not allow to track multiple issues in one report.

Both requests have been filed earlier:
- Bug #172010 “Copying, cutting and pasting nodes”
- Bug #245064 “Mirrored node movement and definite relative positioning of nodes suggestion”

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #172010 (based on bug summary).

Indeed - I'm also looking forward to having this branch merged into the current development branch (for future Inkscape 0.92) :-)
