 - **Constrain Angle (#394):** General › Constrain Angle turns the arrow keys' axes (guides stay on the page's), holds Shift drags of the Selection, Direct Selection, Free Transform, Slice Selection, Reshape and Measure tools and the Pen's handles to the turned axes, and new rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, grids, point and area type, Shift-drawn polygons and stars and the shape size dialogs are drawn along it with their bounding box turned; 0° and whole turns are exactly as before, quarter turns exact (<https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/arrange-objects/rotate-objects-by-specific-angles.html>). Tests: `tests_constrain_tools`, `tests_constrain_new` (engine), `geom` `constrain_axes` / `rotate_deg`, the shape, grid and type tool tests.
 
 - **Clipping paths on their outline (G1):** the selection tools (Selection, Direct Selection, Group Selection), Object Highlighting and a right-click take a clipping path on its outline before the art it clips; Select Behind lists the same; the eyedropper, the tools that act on what is drawn and the selection tools' double-clicks, loaded text and guide release take the art. Doc and tool regression tests; score unchanged.
+- **Copy and Cut of anchors picked with a lent Direct Selection (#6123):** with the Pen or the Curvature tool, Cmd/Ctrl held lends Direct Selection for the gesture; the anchors and segments it picks are what Edit › Copy and Cut take once the key is let go, as with Direct Selection chosen, while the last anchor the Pen leaves selected as it draws still makes Copy take the whole path (#2122). A Cmd gesture that leaves the selection as it was (a Shift marquee over nothing) picks nothing. Regression test: `tests::draw2::pen_cmd_selected_anchors_are_what_copy_and_cut_take`.
 - **Escape in Selection tool drags:** Escape during a Selection tool move or Alt-drag copy, a bounding-box scale or rotation, a marquee, or a corner widget, pie widget or bracket drag cancels it: the art returns to its state at the press, no copy is left, no undo step is added, the release does nothing, and the tool stays chosen. This is VectorCraft's own behavior. Regression tests: `escape_cancels_*` in `select/tests.rs` and `pie.rs`, and `escape_cancels_a_selection_tool_move_copy_scale_or_rotation` in `tests/selectescape.rs`.
 - **Global Edit: Shift-click leaves a match out:** while Global Edit is on, a Shift-click with the Selection tool on a highlighted match, or on an object inside a matched group, leaves that match out (`select.globalEditExclude`): it is no longer highlighted and later edits leave it as it is; the object the edit started from stays, and Global Edit ends when fewer than two matches are left ([Update assets quickly with Global Edit](https://helpx.adobe.com/ph_fil/illustrator/how-to/global-editing-sensei.html)). Regression tests: `a_shift_click_*`, `an_object_left_out_*`, `a_group_left_out_*` and `leaving_out_all_but_one_*` in `crates/engine/src/tests/globaledit.rs`.
 - **Global Edit Options in the Control bar:** while Select › Start Global Edit can run, the Control bar shows a Global Edit Options dropdown that opens the same options as the Properties panel's (Match: Appearance, Size; On Artboards; Include Objects On Canvas; Result(s)); both set the same options. The dropdown is off while Global Edit is on; it sits after Recolor Artwork, ahead of the X/Y/W/H fields ([Edit similar objects globally](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/edit-objects/edit-similar-objects.html)). Regression test: `the_control_bar_shows_the_global_edit_options` in `crates/ui-egui/src/chrome/tests.rs`.
