I am looking for the Draft_Edit key combinations valid for macOS so that they can be added to the documentation. If you are a Mac user: please help! Thanks.
Instructions how to use the command:

Note that for the E key to work you have to click in the 3D view once to ensure that it has the focus.
Linux key combinations: Shift+Alt+LMB, Ctrl+Alt+LMB or E.

Re: Draft_Edit: key combinations for macOS?
Alt is called Option on macOS so
Option+LeftMouse on a line ->add point
Option+LeftMouse on a vertex ->delete point
Note: Delete point works here, add point does nothing

Re: Draft_Edit: key combinations for macOS?
Sorry, I am using Draft not very often (for drafting) and even less often for editing, so I had to learn what the E key does.
The following procedure works here:
- Select a Wire
- Click the Edit icon
- Place the mouse over an edge
- Hit the E key -> a popup bubble "Add point" occurs,
- Select "Add points" will insert a new point.

Re: Draft_Edit: key combinations for macOS?
So in your experience add points works only if the context menu was activated via the "E" Key? If you use It with Option+LMB It doesn't work?

Exactly. I admit that I still have the feeling I have forgotten something or made something stupid. This is what doesn't work:
- Select a Wire
- Click the Edit icon
- Place the mouse over an edge
- Option+LMB -> a popup bubble "Add point" occurs as before
- Select "Add points" (either by mouse or keyboard, which both work in the case above) does nothing except closing the popup bubble.

Hmmm strange... No idea what could be the difference between the 2 workflows...
