Hi Giovanni,

thanks for your feedback. I comment below.

this was requested here, too. Fill hole seems (theoretically) quite
simple, the other one is harder:
1) which layers are defined to form the space to be filled. Any line or
polygon layer could do it. Maybe one would use the ones that are ticked
for avoid intersection.
2) what happens if these layers do not form a closed boundary around the
point where the user clicked? how would you detect this?

Filling a hole can also be achieved by ticking "avoid intersection" for
the layer with the polygon and then digitizing generously around the
hole. In this respect I would like to have the whole snapping business
more handy: You have to click the menu, scroll in the list, tick here
and there... (no idea though how it could be improved)

requested here, too. I have solved this in Python already.

this shouldn't be too difficult

you would not need this if you had the first part of #4933

agreed, currently you would have to add a new line and merge it with the
existing one afterwards. Maybe this would be the way how to solve this
issue in a plugin.
