Add funktion to remove node from way

[jochen@…]

A very common situation is this: There are two ways using the same node, for instance a highway and a powerline. But they are not supposed to use the same node. In fact one of the lines should not use the node at all. I can use the unglue function and then remove one of the nodes, but thats cumbersome. And it has the problem that in half the cases the way that could be left untouched has now a spurious change.

So I suggest a new function to remove a node from a way. To use it you select the node and the way and then the menu function/key.

Is it to hard to select the two objects (node plus way of which you want to delete the node of) press "g" and "Del" and that is it.

No, you only need to select the right objects.

Have you tried the "Extract node (Alt-J)" function from utilsplugin2 ?
