-- **Adjust curvature:**: Drag the handles to refine the shape.
+- **Delete points:** Press `Del` or `Backspace` while a point is selected to remove that point from the path.
+- **Toggle corner/curve:** Hold `Alt` (or `Option` on Mac) and click a point to switch between corner and smooth curve (handles will appear).
