Feature request: clicking on superimposed nodes selects them alternately

I get annoyed when I can’t select a node because there’s another one at the same coordinates, but in front of it.

For example, when I break a contour by pen-clicking on a mid-contour node, it produces end nodes one on top of the other, and only the top one is selectable. If I want to move the other one instead, I have to move the one off the other, then move the desired one, then move the first one back.

It’d be great if repeated clicking on the same stack of nodes would alternate through them.

What I do in that case is to select both by dragging a rect around them the deselect the first by shift clicking it.

It select the previous node on the path and press Tab (or Shift Tab).
