spline point distance

when using curve tool and i see you draw a curve. default is always 10. i saw someone using shift or ctrl to drag adjust the count in this mode? is there a prerequisite to get this to work. or is it buggy? i cant adjust or add other points. both in dash and in landscape mode and add spline layer, its the same. i cant add with shift like i see in videos. but i can use ALT to duplicate a point from a point. is there some pre - setting i need in editor preferences?

Do you mean like this in my video?

If you have already drawn a curve, while still in curve draw mode you can use CTRL and MMB to adjust its point distance And then you can of course adjust the Distance setting for new curves in the draw settings at the top, if you hold CTRL or shift when dragging on that, you adjust it faster

ah ye if you are trying to do it on already existing splines you have to select them before going into the draw mode
