Missing Pen Tool Keyboard Rollover Options

[Mariano–]

With the pen tool selected, I used to be able to add/remove anchor points and handle their Bezier curves just by pressing a key (shift, option, control, etc.) while hovering over a path, without having to switch back and forth between pen tools. Is this functionality gone?

Did you recently upgrade to the latest version? What version are you using?

The option is still there

that  box  above should be unchecked

if it is and the modifier keys still do not work , you may need to reset your preferences

I'm using version 22.1.

I've unchecked the Disable Auto Add/Delete option and the modifier keys are working again.

Thank you so much for your help.
