    Hi,

    pen tool, alt+clic on the handle to delete the opposite handle. If you don't want to show the handles: preferences > uncheck "show handles when multiple anchors are selected"

    Why do you need to clear the last handle? It doesn't disturb at all while the path is open and allows you to continue the drawing when you need.

    If you just want to stop drawing and keep the path open, just make left-button click anywhere keeping Ctrl pressed.

    when fast editing some curve may end to long handle and for example with arc then straight line you obviously need to cut the front handle see my sample below

    i'm still not sure what you're asking, but you can hold alt while you're dragging to turn hand;es into a corner.

    and your screenshots are Photoshop. this is the Illustrator board. which are we talking about?
