Power Nudge»

Power Nudge mode is a special mode that affects movement of nodes. Usually, when you move several selected nodes at the same time, only the selected nodes are moved, and the remaining (unselected) nodes stay in place. Sometimes, it is useful to move adjacent proportionally. In these situations, the Power Nudge mode can help.

You can turn Power Nudge on or off by choosing Contour > Power Nudge (Shift-C). For turning it on more temporarily, press and hold down the C key: the mode remains on until you release the key.

With this mode on, select some nodes and move them. FontLab will automatically identify additional nodes and handles which should be nudged along with your selected nodes, and move these additional points proportionally—even growing or shrinking handle lengths—in proportion to the shifts involved.
