Nodes: square=normal. diamond=dash point. circle=curve handle. Add with Ctrl-click on empty spot (can move mouse same action). Dash point: space bar + Ctrl-click. Remove: Ctrl-click an existing note.
Moving: use dashed box. Ctrl: constrains movement angle. Shift: curor snaps to other existing objects
