Okay!
I perfectly agree with this proposal, it is more clear in my opinion!
Thank,
Silvia

Okay how about this:
"Vertex Editing"
- anything where the user can see a vertex goes here
- edit vertex
- hole cutter
"Feature Editing"
- anything that works on entire feature goes here
- split feature
- trim feature (which is kind of a fancy version of split combined with delete
feature)
- delete feature
(Aside: the reason I do not use "node" is that a vertex represents a point, and when editing a
curve sometimes those points can represent control points, and for splines a few of the control
points are called "nodes")

Yes: two 'schools' do exist on the right terms, but we all understand an agree.

Yes: we can keep the current lables.. ..but I feel that using the same world 'editing' is a bit
misleading. I keep feeling that such term makes the user think of activities involvoing direct
moving of vertexes.
That to say that is someone shoud ask me "what tools do you expect to find in these two 'bins':
'Editinig' and 'Feature editing'?".. ..well.. ..I would not besure of the answer!
So, if changing "feature editing" to "feature processing" (or something else without 'edit'
inside) is perceived as too much..
...I would at least move the Trim Tool to this second "Feature editing" group, since this tool
does not involve any direct vertex selection.
