<![CDATA[Node tool, drag select - short key: How do I select and activate every nodes in same shape?]]>VS’ Node tool: Drag-LM selects nodes and make them active. Same thing with Adobe Ill but here you select and activate every nodes in same shape by pressing option.

How does this works in VS?

Would make sense with "-" --> node reduction, but it doesn't seems work.

And odd: It appears the reduce node function actually works yet on and off only. As if you must deselect and reselect the shape everytime.

Strange ...

I was thinking about using the " - " (Minus) Key
for delete nodes was inserted via plus key ?

good question

of course undo

the only other ways i found was via History Panel
( Menu > Panels > Edit > History )

or via a Lasso selection

Very nice, thanks.
Cool tip with adding nodes. Off topic: How do you reduce nodes again?

The Simplify Path has no effect.

Had some trouble with my free video provider
seems solved

i like to add that using Ctrl + A for selecting all
Nodes of a Shape has an additional Effect

see this video here

Thanks. Noticed the same when I tried it out, very useful. Like VS procedure better than in AI

indeed 🙂

but I have to correct myself a little
select at least one node of that shape
and then press Ctrl+A
this will work better if you have many shapes

To select all nodes of a Shape
use the Note Tool do a left click on
the shape and press Ctrl+A on Windows

instead of left click, hovering over a shape
and press Ctrl+A works also
