  @Boldline said in editing the handles only of multiple nodes at same time - but not moving the nodes as well: pick certain preferences options and customize them in a dropdown folder Maybe in the future.

  @Boldline When deleting a node, it will delete the segment before the node along the path direction.

  @VectorStyler said in How do I commit to changes made with warp tool and retain stroke attributes?: To get back to editing nodes, you need to convert to curves (again). thank you - I found where I got stuck. If the node editing tool is selected and used to select the warped shape, then pressing "convert to curves" will not work - you need to switch to the transform tool and then try "convert to curves" to have success

  @Boldline A possibly fast solution is to just select an object that has an uniform width stroke, then drawing with the Pen tool after that should revert to that width (or to 1 pt width if the previous object has no stroke).

  @VectorStyler No, the cursor is a small curve with circle on top plus a mini regular cursor LOL. I've tried a vid, but it's not capturing the above cursor change for some reason. The cursor changes from a regular cursor when hovering, to this other cursor when shift is depressed. Neil

  @Boldline Yes, at this phase it does not yet has any corners. First you must set a nonzero corner radius.

  @jfraze When you don't find some feature or command you need, try the Search field under the Help menu (say, 'shortcuts'). If it's included, macOS will point it where it's located in the menus.

  @Boldline With two "separate at intersections" commands this corner was also separated. I opened a bug on this one, as one command should be sufficient.

  How do I constrain using the shift modifier key and just get the nodes to move vertically (or horizontally)?

  @Boldline Currently the Shift key keeps the line segments at certain angle, and node movement direction cannot be restricted. One way to work around this is to select those nodes, activate the Transform tool and move with that. I will try to change this to allow multiple node movement constrain for shift key, as limiting the segment angle does not make much sense in this case.

  @PatrickM Looks like these options work only after the document was created. The Canvas -> Artboard Options command opens the same view. I will fix this ASAP.

  @VectorStyler My first reflex was indeed the "delete" key. I should have thought about it and stayed on this problem but as I was trying to reproduce with VS what I did more than 10 years ago with AI, I was already thinking about what other effects I was going to affect, wondering where to find them, etc. I wanted to come back to this problem but the transformation of my blended object crashed VS. On restart, a crash report has been sent (had to be sent). The habit of working with AD where the deletion of such points is also done by the delete key. It would be nice to add this possibility for all curves.

  @Boldline I have nothing against the previous color assigning mode being a Prefs setting, even on by default. Regarding any possible confusion from the difference between the way assigning colors work from the color bar compared to the Color panel, I don't have a magical solution that can please everybody, except that maybe the Stroke button should become active when you right-click in the color bar, and the same with the Fill button when you left-click. But I can't say I'm certain it's how it should work. @VectorStyler Btw, the 'Color Palette' panel is more similar to the Color bar, so I think the same rule should apply (LMB assigns to Fill, RMB assigns to Stroke). Of course, if this option is enabled in Prefs.
