An error occurred while saving the comment EG:
- Select an anchor point (direct selection).
- Hit your shortcut (random example: cmd+.) and your selection has jumped one anchor point along the path.
- Do it again, and you jump one anchor point further along the path.
- Hit the second shortcut (cmd ¨) and your selection jumps the other direction, back along the path.
- Hit the shortcut including shift, and you have selected both the one you originally had and the one next to it.
- Works both ways - to move "along" the path and "backwards".An error occurred while saving the comment The particular circumstances that prompted me to post this was when I was working with a vector that was traced from a raster image. There are little anchor points all over the place when you zoom in, and sometimes it has put them in quite a zigzag. Being able to "step" along the anchor points would make it much easier to see where the path is actually going, and make it quicker and easier to choose which to delete, to simplify the path and work with it in various ways.

1: the shortest route.
2: clockwise.
2: would be awesome if there was a way to click the next key combo and get it to switch to all other points on the path (open or closed), like a "select inverse".
PS: while I have your attention - still hoping for this: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/47183483-keyboard-shortcut-to-select-next-anchor-point-alon
(Which would also solve this issue - grab an anchor point, hold down the right key-combo and hit your arrows to select multiple anchor points along the path.)
