Feedback: Optimization suggestion for geometry editing

[lp-dj]

If I want to edit the geometry of a (single) point object, I think there is only the possibility to move this point, right?

I currently have two options for this in QField, both of which are not yet optimally solved in my opinion:

1) I select the object and use the "Move Selected Feature(s)" function. The problem here is that the crosshair does not snap to the point. I see the crosshair and, with an offset, a point marked in green. This is not a problem for me, as I am familiar with this behavior. But in my experience, newcomers to QField are initially confused because they expect to put the dot in the place of the crosshair. In reality, however, the position of the green dot is adopted.

Suggestion: I think it would be more intuitive if the crosshair snaps to the point (or in the case of a polygon, a line or a multi-selection to the centroid) as soon as the "Move selected feature" function is selected, wouldn't it?

2) The second way to edit/move a point object is via the "Edit geometry" button in the header of the attribute form. Since - as mentioned above - there is only one meaningful way for me to edit a point object, the most elegant user experience for me would be to be able to move the point directly after clicking on the "Edit geometry" button. Instead, however, I have to select the only vertex of the object beforehand. At least the only available tool for a point geometry, the vertex tool, is now automatically selected. This time last year (QField version 2.6.3), the behavior was the other way around. You had to manually select the tool via the "three-point" menu at the bottom right, but then at least the only support point was directly selected and could be moved.

Suggestion: A combination of both (automatic selection of the only tool + automatic selection of the only vertex) would be the ideal solution in my opinion ;)

If you don't want to individualize the behavior between the different geometry types, would it be a good idea to make the node tool and the first vertex the default for all geometry types, which is preselected when you click on the "Edit geometry" button?

What do you think?

Best regards
