In skeleton mode of the mesh editor, how can I move one point without moving ALL the points also by the same relative motion?

points are always moved as 1 point only
to move only one bone, check mesh editor documentation shortcuts

That'd be nice, but apparently they are not. If it matters, I'm trying to place a second point to a skeleton of a weapon already having a point ("shot"), but moving my new point always also moves the first point.

you asked about the Mesh Editor

if you mean the Motion in the codes then points are transformed according to their parents (bone parent), these are set using menu option "set parent" or similar

Indeed.

I don't.

either way points during animations are transformed depending on bone parents.

And I'm sure the points are real happy about that. Still, though, I'm not actually using animations. As stated, I'm using the skeleton mode of the mesh editor, trying to move a second point using the right mouse button - but the first point is always also moved by the same relative motion, although it is not selected; i.e. the whole 'skeleton' is moved, not just the single point I want to move.

did you select one point first using LMB? and then move it with RMB?

No, selecting one point first using LMB and then moving it while having RMB pressed results in rotating the point (regardless of whether Move, Rotate or Scale modes are selected). Not selecting any point with LMB first, but moving one with RMB pressed in MOVE mode moves it - but also the whole skeleton.

Perhaps I mixed up the real problem: Could it be that in skeleton mode, regardless of whether I select Move, Rotate or Scale, the active mode is always Rotate?

did you check the Mesh Editor shortcuts?
maybe you need to use Ctrl+RMB or something

Selecting a point using LMB and then holding Ctrl+RMB works indeed for moving only a single point, thank you.
This isn't mentioned explicitly in the documentation in the context of points, however, and it doesn't seem very intuitive given that one would expect a point to move when in Move mode, not rotate. I'd suggest you adjust this behaviour, but I'm satisfied now either way :]

you're right, thanks, I'll improve the docs

How i may rotate entire skeleton in skeleton mode?

you must use transformations from Mesh mode (skeleton will also get transformed)

either through menu options or "transform panel - RMB"
