Mirror / parallel - squeeze / transform path is it possible ? [ SOLVED ]

Hi,

Is it possible with Inkscape to squeeze a shape in a mirror way (sorry I don't know how to phrase it better) \

Here a gif from a rasterize/pixel editor with what I'm looking for

The same question on the official inkscape forum

WTF the fuck happen to peoples ? Internet should not be a place where everyone could express, share what he want ?!

I'm glad their is Lemmy, so quick and easy

Draw rectangle

Path->Object to path

F2 Node tool, select the 2 nodes with shift+click

Enable show transformation handles on the toolbar

Shift+drag the transformation handles

Made a video of it:
- Thank you ! @infeeeee I didn't know the transformation handles Side note: be aware that files.catbox.moe seem to block TOR user :/
  
  I switched to catbox from imgur because imgur is even more restrictive. What similar quick image sharing site should I use? I don't use nor vpn, nor tor, because I live in a country where the state doesn't care about what people do online.
If it's a path, you can use a mirror

click the object

click path effects

search for the mirror symmetry path effect

click freely define mirror and drag the mirror line to where it makes sense

click a node and drag it (the node on the opposite side of the mirror should also move like in your gif)

You will need two mirrors if you want horizontal and vertical "squeezing" (or symmetrical editing)
