Hi,

Couldn't find more info on the net/manual, so poking here for some help. For perspective, I'm coming from Inkscape ( which is rather slow and recently clunky, especially compared to PP).
Also, attaching a short screen recording showing what I'm trying to do.
My questions are:
1) How to change the direction of the path?
2) How to combine two points/nodes (without affecting the overall shape look)?
3) How to invert the Alt/Option+Mouse_Scroll zoom?
4) How to convert Stroke to Path ( same like in Inkscape )?
5) How to move a point/node along the path without affecting the overall shape look?
6) Edit: found. The hotkey is Enter but I'm not sure why isn't this mentioned in the top menu.
How to stay in "Make editable" mode or how to add a shortcut to this mode?

Thanks in advance for your help!

7? How to stay in "Make editable" mode or how to add a shortcut to this mode?

For one thing, don't hit return, should leave you in Edit Mode. But double click the shape to enter or return to Edit Mode. You could make a short cut but I think simpler is better.
