Drag node without moving control handles?

[J.C.]

I used to be able to press a modifier key which would let me drag a node, but the node's control handles would stay in place. As a result you could quickly pull out a node into a point and stuff like that. I cannot for the life of me reproduce this now. I thought it was an alt- or ctrl- modifier but no luck. Does anyone recognize what I'm talking about and know how to do this?

Edit: Of course as soon as I posted this I figured it out. You have to left-click and hold on the node, then hold down the right-click button and drag.

The Status Bar will provide hints like that. For example, with the Node Tool selected, and the cursor over a Node, you should see this:

Or it's documented in the Help, e.g.: https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/CurvesShapes/edit_linesAndShapes.html

I see that now, and that's probably how I figured it out the first time. I'm gonna chalk it up to sleep deprivation! I was not looking at the bottom of my screen. 😅

But hey, how are you viewing that help file? The font in yours is so clean and readable but for some reason my help files have a crazy illegible font, whether I view it in the program or in browser. Like this:

That was Firefox on Windows.

Alright, I'll try that. I suspect Windows may be involved somehow. Thanks for all your help walt!

You're welcome.
