In the iD editor, how can I add a node on an existing line, to make it curve smoother along its real trace?

If you select the way ("line") that you want to work on, just doubleclick at the position that you want to add the node.

Thanks for the quick and accurate answer. And while doing it, I found another possibility:

If you zoom enough, a tentative new point appears in the middle of a segment.

exactly – in fact you just need to drag those points in the middle to the desired position and you have your new more reality-near point.
