- Remove (shortcut: R): Delete an existing offset point
- Select (shortcut: E): Select an existing offset point to edit distance value with the numeric box
- Move (shortcut: Q): Move an existing offset point along the curve
Other options
- Flip (shortcut: T): Move the margin to the other side of the curve
- Smooth (shortcut: Y): Use a smoother interpolation between offset points
