Adding a node in an existing way is probably a high-likelihood activity. Yet at present it is non-discoverable, requiring a keyboard shortcut (Shift).

This non-discoverability is made worse because, when a way is selected, and Shift pressed, no indication is given of this, e.g. a half-shaded 'ghost' point (that roughly follows the mouse position) or something like that.

As there is no current action assigned to assigning double-click while mouseovering an existing line, adding this while retaining the current Shift-click behaviour may be possible.
