Drag / Left drag: moves the selected vertex using crosshairs

Tap and hold / Right click: opens the New Vertex panel or the Existing Vertex panel if you started the Tap and hold / Right click over existing vertex

 

Possible use cases

•In case of point feature and MAP - TopoLynx vector layer format the new geometry will be a multipoint geometry

•In case of line or polyline adds new vertices into the existing geometry

•In case of polygon adds new vertices into the existing geometry
