Cubic Bezier Tool Help

Hello, How do I control the Cubic Bezier tool? How do I reset or control the curve to the direction I want after making a curve?

I'm a previous Photoshop user, I usually press the Alt key on the point to reset and control a new curve. Is there a hotkey/shortcut key to control the curves of Cubic Bezier Tool?

    You click to make a c.point,
    when you click once you make a corner point,
    when you click-drag the cursor it makes smooth point (with handles),
    when you right click it removes the last made c.point,
    when you double click or hit enter it ends the curve.

    If you want to edit the curve use "correct line - control points"* tool, then you can ALT click to remove and SHIFT click to add c.point.
    All the usual operations on vector curve are presented in the drop down menu of the "control points" tool.

    *perhaps it's named differently, I changed the names of my tools

    Thanks those click controls were a big help!
    Although I still can't get the acute angle corners I want with the cubic Bezier tool even after right clicking. thanks for the new tips though.

    You can adjust the angles after you made the curve, with control points tool.
    I usually use common spline to draw out curves, works well.
    All are working basically the same , it's just the C.points and handles that are displayed differently.
    Always try modifier keys (ALT,SHIFT, ALT+SHIFT, CTRL etc) with vector tools/curves. Some operations are hidden in there.
