Skew is designed to be as flexible as possible, giving you full control over layers. To do that, I am introducing modes.

Layers mode, In / Out mode

The best thing about it is that almost all Skew features you’d expect to work on layers, also work directly on the layer handles.

Here, take a look:

1. Drag from anywhere to start a box selection for handles only

<aside> 🤷‍♀️ How do I switch modes?

In Skew, you can find your modes switcher at the top-right corner of the panel. ****Simply click any of the buttons enter a different mode.
