Alejandro -
I had just discovered this trick from an Adobe Illustrator thread and was trying it in Inkscape when I saw your message. When I select the two nodes at the same time, my Inkscape doesn't display the selected nodes in the usual way. Also, although I can simultaneously move the nodes, I don't seem to be able to simultaneously manipulate their handles. Is that normal? This is with 0.48 under Windows 7.
is normal, i think you can't manipulate both handles with the mouse, but i suppose you can do it with the keyboard. I have not been able to test every combination of keys, because the Spanish keyboard layout is a little different and some things require digital skills that I don't have (and a couple of extra fingers xD) but for example, rotate, mirror, move... i've tried and works.
this is the link to the node section of keyboard shorcuts: http://inkscape.org/doc/keys048.html # d0e3233
Thanks for the pointer to those instructions.
FWIW, I've added something about this to my personal notes at http://audilab.bme.mcgill.ca/~funnell/swil_inkscape.html#sharedBoundaries Can anyone confirm my observation that the keystrokes to rotate a handle work but that the keystrokes to scale a handle do not work? The instructions for the keystrokes pointed to by Alejandro specify '(1 node selected)' in both cases so really neither of them should work.
