Reference (Referentie)

Mode (Modus):

Edit Mode (bewerkingsmodus)

Menu:

Select ‣ More/Less

Shortcut (Sneltoets):

Ctrl-NumpadPlus, Ctrl-NumpadMinus

The purpose of these operators is to reduce or enlarge the current selection within a stroke (i.e. they will never “go outside” of a stroke or “jump” to another stroke in the same object).

More

For each selected point, select all its linked points (i.e. one or two…).

Less

For each selected point, if all points linked to this point are selected, keep this one selected. Otherwise, deselect it.

Hint

When all points of a stroke are selected, nothing will happen (as for Less, all linked points are always selected, and of course, More cannot add any). Conversely, the same goes when no points are selected.
