    I have an path that I've applied a "Perspective/Envelope" Path Effect to. I'd like to visually edit the transformation but I dont' seem to have any handles on the object. TheΒ  object remains with the typical resizing handles. I'm forced to type in the numbers I want.

    The docs indicate there should be handles, and the mouse-over tip on the properties indicate Ctrl+Shift combinations to move those handles.

    How do I get the on-screen editing of the handles?

    Can you select the node tool F2 or N to see the diamond handles and the perspective outline ?Β

    Yes, that works.

    How should I have known, UX-wise, that I need to press F2/N to edit the path effects?
