How do you select a vertex in a feature in QGIS?

With activating the Node Tool on a feature, QGIS opens the Vertex Editor panel listing all the vertices of the feature with their x, y (z, m if applicable) coordinates and r (for the radius, in case of circular geometry). Simply select a row in the table does select the corresponding vertex in the map canvas, and vice versa.

How to select and copy group of polygons in QGIS?

From the User Guide (version 1.7.0) in chapter 4.5.1 it was suggested that I should change the tolerance in “Settings” > “Options” > “Digitizing” and I changed from 0.00000 to 1.00000. It was also suggested to edit “Settings” > “Snapping options” so I changed the tolerance to the same value there.

How to add polygons to the attribute table?
