By Symmetrical node control handles I refer to being able to constrain a node's handles to both retain the same length using a modifier/hotkey, when one of the handles are being dragged around. When you are using the Pen tool to draw new vector shapes, the nodes you create does have symmetrical control handles, but when you try to edit the node with the Node tool, this feature is missing. I am aware this feature has been brought up in the past. When searching for this feature I have seen threads dating back up to 2 years where the moderators answers suggest this would be implemented in future releases, yet I do not find any flexible way of achieving this in the latest releases of Designer. Is there any plans of implementing this feature? I am also aware that when one of the handles reaches the same length as the other handle, a line appears at the midpoint of the handle to indicate that the two handles are of the same length. I do however find this to be a very fiddly and time consuming solution when managing a large amount of nodes that needs to be tweaked. This balancing act quickly becomes a time consuming annoyance, which could easily be replaced with a modifier/hotkey for the Node tools for constraining the handles length symmetrically. A good candidate might be the CTRL-key on Windows since it doesn't appear to do anything while dragging node handles. I am experimenting with phasing out Illustrator in favor of Affinity Designer in my business for certain tasks, I do however find this to be a growing issue and a major annoyance when dealing with vector editing. Thanks
