I was dealing with "sharp" round edges today and was wishing for this feature... and of course Figma had it already! Thanks for sharing!

[@kingedward510]

Jesus wept, I have needed this so many times in the past. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMrBrendo]

Really likening these short form explainers of these lesser known functions. This is massively helpful as i was about to try to learn Illustrator to do something that could be done easily with Figma and this function, thank you!!!!

[@leomega]

Multiple daily videos! Yes! 🙌

[@xBlacksStarx]

Thanks for providing the link...to the tool...

[@dotterel]

Thank you so much, you're amazing :)

[@darksparow]

Very Useful! 👍💜

[@valerichutak]

Is this the same as using the Pen tool in subtract mode? Cause the results are pretty similar and you don't need to move your fingers to Shift then Delete, you just hold down Alt with the Pen tool.

What is the reverse of this action how to add more vertex?

[@wighatsuperreggie]

Draw a circle. how do I delete a node so I just have a semi-circle? Can't for the life of me figure it out

[@YoonahBae]

Love this!

[@SlunchoWolfsong]

It deletes the whole path segment. does not work. Sometimes works, sometimes it does not and you have to draw the path and connect the left points

[@zidansyed]

We expect figma to have path smoothing tool like illustrator

[@teksdesign]

Im using Mac, Shift Delete not working :(

[@teksdesign]

Fn Shift Delete

[@calvinogood]

Was that copied from Adobe Illustrator in 2016?

[@hidayat1999]

not working anymore

[@mr.scientist7205]

no its fake its deleting the lines not making it smooth

[@figma-miggi]

Can confirm that it is not fake. Shift + delete the points ✌🏽

[@mr.scientist7205]

@@figma-miggi same way am doing it in windows shift + delete the points that make the computer to understand that am trying to delete rather to make it smoother

[@Golden_Kelsi]

Pressing the two buttons at once will do!
