Every left-click creates an additional node. You can stop this operation by clicking on the present line and keeping the Ctrl button pressed, by pressing the Esc button or by changing the operation mode. With the Del button a marked signal line is deleted. If only one node is marked, just this node is removed from the line.

In the edit mode you can move the nodes of the signal lines. If you keep the Shift button pressed when you place or move nodes, the corresponding node is adjusted vertically and horizontally, respectively.
