Description

Handle operations like "Option + drag" & "Control + drag" are not working when the shape is drawn with shape tool.
In "Option + drag" operation, the handles should grow proportionally along the anchor point and remain collinear. Similarly for "Control + Drag" it should snap along the anchor point.

OS- MacOS

Research direction

Start by locating the Shape Tool implementation and the handle-operation paths for Option + drag and Control + drag. Use the linked reproduction clip on macOS to compare behavior with shapes created by other tools. Done means Option + drag grows handles proportionally while keeping them collinear, and Control + drag snaps along the anchor point.
