Thinking about this some more - if the Move Vertex tool was add to the Shift key as a quasi-mode of the Insert Vertex tool, this would give behaviour equivalent to Google Maps vertex editing (only better, of course, because it's in JUMP 8^)
One thing that would be slick is to visualize the new vertex that would be added by the Insert Vertex tool (ie display a small vertex box on the line segment which it would be added to). Even cooler would be to display the actual coordinates of the candiate vertex somewhere (in the Edit Toolbox panel perhaps?)
