## Guide

Clicking on the canvas will insert **control points**. CPs can be moved with the arrows. Clicking one of the path icons, or pressing one of the shortcuts, will draw a stroke between them. The newly created segment's handles can be moved by clicking and dragging them.

Hold `shift` to drag entire layer, hold `alt` to delete a vertex.
