Illustrator on Web now has Quick Pen tool. Desktop Ai needs one too
Illustrator on Web got this Quick Pen tool (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-on-the-web-beta-discussions/introducing-the-new-quick-pen-tool-beta-in-illustrator-on-the-web-beta/td-p/14146260) in October of 2023, very similar to the recently abandoned Spiro Tool plugin, to Tangent Arc tool by Graffix, and to some of Astute Graphics’ plugins.
This is not a replacement to any one of them, and to the Illustrator’s native Curvature, but it’s an interesting tool to have at desktop as well.

Using alt+scroll to change the size of the arc is quite slow, so I guessed adding shift to the mix would make a more dramatic change to the arc size. Indeed it does, but by a HUGE margin, maybe 10x faster than alt+scroll. I think the shift+alt+scroll should change the size of the arc by about half of what it does at the moment.
