[Inkscape-devel] user question

Wow - I never knew how useful help files can be. (((-; Thanks for pointing me to that!

Change node type

    Shift+C	make cusp

First Shift+C changes type of node; if you do another Shift+C on an already cusp node, it retracts its handles

    Shift+S	make smooth

If a cusp node is adjacent to a line segment, first Shift+S makes it half-smooth with one handle collinear with the segment; another Shift +S will expand a second handle

    Shift+Y	make symmetric

When making smooth or symmetric, you can lock the position of one of the handles by hovering mouse over it.

    Shift+A	make auto

    Ctrl+click	toggle smooth/cusp/symmetric/auto
