Forgive me for what seems like a painfully simple question that anyone with half a brain should be able to find an existing answer to here on the forums or Google. I've tried my best, honest!
I just want to know how (if it's even possible) to select all nodes in a continuous curve without selecting all nodes in the entire shape. I know I can hold down modifiers and select each node one by one, as I did to create my screenshot here, or drag a selection around the nodes. That seems acceptable for very simple shapes like this, but it also seems like it would be very easy to find yourself in a situation where the curve is comprised of so many nodes and is sufficiently complex enough that selecting all of the nodes manually while avoiding the nodes of curves not connected to that one could be quite a time consuming process. Surely there is a key or a magical click that I'm missing which will do what I'm after, yes?
I assume the problem solves itself for grouped items, where you can just select the individual shape within the group, so maybe my example here of a boolean internal curve is the only case where this is actually a problem? Still, it feels like there's a super obvious way to do this that I'm missing.
I'm sure it's pretty clear I'm usually a raster guy, haha.
