Pointer Tool Options

[antop11]

When double-click the Pointer appears to possible settings, the first one is
easy to understand but I have no idea with what is related the second one,
"Show Fill Handles" . I searched the Help and there is no mention about this
setting.
Anyone has a idea ?
Thanks

'Show Fill Handles' could be more clearly labeled as 'Show Gradient Fill
Handles'. If you have 'Show Fill Handles' enabled, and have a Gradient Fill
selected in the Object Inspector, then the object will show handles which
you can drag to reposition the gradient.

I find it awkward that there is no other way to get Gradient Fill handles to
display. To my way of thinking, a 'show handles' icon the Gradient Fill
Inspector would be very useful.

I suppose the idea is that you sometimes want to edit items without seeing
gradient handles. Fair enough, but a Show/Hide toggle in the View menu (with
keyboard shortcut) would be more consistent with other Show/Hide functions.

I would add that the handles should be visible by default and would have to
be toggled off.
