In TrueType hinting mode, it is possible to select handles. (leaving them out with Alt-key is not possible in this mode). And also, it is possible to hint these Handles.
Does this make sense anyway?
Anyway, I think hinting would be more comfortable (simply dragging the mouse over two or more points rather than selecting every single point ), if I have the possibility to leave the handles out in selection…
To be honest, I did not believe, that it makes sense to hint a handle. And the nonsense in the image should explain that anyhow. Stupid. I know. Sorry.
So, if hinting a handle does not make sense, wouldn’t it be convenient, if handles could not be selected in hinting mode?
