I'm a quadriplegic, taking screenshots would take forever. :-)
I don't have Camtasia, sorry for the low quality video & even lower quality picture I was working on.
But, you can clearly see my anchor points & direction lines.
The screen recorder was taking priority over my laptop, so… I wasn't able to use the on-screen keyboard like I wanted to.
That's neither here nor there, but… That is the reason why it is on the screen though.
you will see when I switch to the direct selection tool & grab one of the handlebars and move it around. When I go to the handlebars back, is when the pointer kind of gets in the way in where I would like to place my final positioning.
I was wondering if there was a keyboard shortcut that I could press to hide the pointer so I could make a more precise positioning of my curve.
Don't feel bad, when editing paths I often grab the wrong things as well. It's an operation that seems to need uncommon precision.
Zooming in can sometimes help - though the little handles remain tiny, the little bezier curves handles do get spread out and away from the anchor point handle.
Hopefully pfaffenbichler and Noel's answers can help you out. Currently there is no option for hiding the pointer while using the direct selection tool.
