Joining two paths into one
How to
Use "Edit paths by nodes (F2)" to place each node at the exact single point where the two paths will be joined.
Select one point and move it to the other point. (It snaps when moved.)
| | -> | |
Doing the above leaves the two nodes overlapping at the same position.
(Important) Then select the two Path objects with "Select and Transform objects (F1)". (Multiple selection is possible with Shift + left mouse click.)

Click "Edit paths by nodes (F2)" again and drag a selection area over the position where the two nodes overlap; both nodes are selected.
