Jowday Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 With the node tool selected it is possible to convert a smooth node to a sharp node (ALT + click). I would really, really like it to toggle the node type cycling between sharp, smooth and smart. Or just sharp and smooth. The mouse trip to the toolbar or switch to pen tool to convert a node to a smooth node is frustrating. EDIT: Whoa! I just made convert to smooth node via left and right click simultaneously work. I have to click both buttons instantly insanely fast. It is no good. One toggle shortcut would make much more sense, be much easier to use AND to remember. Double click setting: My double click setting can't make things worse.

Aammppaa Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The current modifier to Convert to Smooth is Hold Right then Click Left. You shouldn't need to do it fast - just ignore the context menu if it pops up. However, I agree with you that it is clunky and awkward, and using Alt + Click to simply toggle between sharp and smooth would be preferable.

Yep, I saw it down there from the beginning. Both buttons just did nothing. I don't use default mouse settings. I had to do it very fast - adjusting the double click speed helped - but using both buttons is slow and awkward and I am not going to use it.

Kuttyjoe Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I wonder what would happen if one was using a mouse with just one button. I mean, it is possible. Recently I bought an old iMac, circa 2009 in order to bring back to life some projects involving very old software, plugins, etc. It came with one of the one-button Apple mice with the little plastic trackball in the middle. I would guess that there are probably still some people out there using one button mice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The Mac has 4 modifier buttons Vs 3 on the PC, so doesn't use the Right Mouse as a modifier.
