Designer | Node tool - Drag both opposite handles

[Heres Johnny]

I hope you can implement the option to drag opposite handles of a node simultaneously when using the Node tool and holding a modifier key.

 

Example:

 

(1) Convert an ellipse to curves,

(2) Select the bottom node of the object with the Node tool,

(3) Press and hold a modifier key (CTRL?) and drag one of the handles left or right, and the opposite handle of the same node will move an equal amount in the opposite direction.

If you select the two nodes (top and bottom) with the node tool, you can move both at the same time by pulling one of the two without having to press another key on the keyboard, and their behavior will be symmetrical .

@reglico Yes you can move multiple nodes, but you can't adjust multiple control handles simultaneously, which is what the OP is asking for.

Reglico, thanks for the reply, but you've misunderstood what I said. Aammppaa got it right.

All my apologies, I actually misunderstood the question and thank you to Aammppaa for clarification.

No, you can't adjust multiple control handles simultaneously, but what you can do is adjust one of the pair and then hold down the Shift key while adjusting the other one. When the distances are the same, you get a little line across each of the lines that join the control handles to the node.

Thanks Alfred for the precision, reading your post I realize that I had already seen this somewhere, certainly on this forum and that I had completely forgotten!

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
