The Boolean Operation LPE finally makes non-destructive boolean operations available in Inkscape. That way, two paths can be combined to a single shape, and both are still editable: # Start with two paths. Rectangles or other shapes are also okay. Groups are not yet supported ([https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1352 Issue #1352]). # Copy the second path into the clipboard (<code>Edit → Copy</code>). # Select the first path and add the Boolean Operation LPE (<code>Path → Path Effects → Add path effect (Plus) → Boolean operation</code>). # Link the second path to the LPE by clicking on <code>Operand Path - Link to path in clipboard</code>.

The Boolean Operations LPE finally makes non-destructive boolean operations available in Inkscape. It works by adding the LPE to a path, then linking a copied path to it by clicking on the 'link to path' button. That way, two [more?] paths can be combined to a single shape, and both are still editable. Available options:
