Now I understand the workflow.... sorry for that.... Adding points gives me all the 'handles' and behavior I need. I just expected a different visual... Then the Ctrl failed on me because I did not recognize instantly what the 'make corner point' relates to... The 'Make Corner Point' is there for that special case where the next point is a 'straight' target.

Thanks for the hints!
