25On a vector layer, you can click on a previously inserted control point to modify it. With an intermediate control point (i.e. a point that is not the starting point and not the ending point), you can move the direction handles separately to have the curve enter and leave the point in different directions. After editing a point, you can just click on the canvas to continue adding points to the curve. 25​On a vector layer, you can click on a previously inserted control point to modify it.

27Pressing :kbd:`Del` will remove the currently selected control point from the curve. Double-click the |mouseleft| on any point of the curve or press :kbd:`Enter` to finish drawing, or press :kbd:`Esc` to cancel the entire curve. You can use :kbd:`Ctrl` while keeping the left mouse button pressed to move the entire curve to a different position. 27​Pressing :kbd:`Del` will remove the currently selected control point from the curve.
