shape layers gradient fill – “handles”- quick key to see them?

[Brie Clayton]

Thank you for solving this, Andrew!

[David Cabestany]

Thanks for the workaround, Philippe.
Ten years later and Adobe still hasn’t fixed this. Unbelievable.

Agree, with David. Even 10 years after, the gradient “handles” thing still is a pain in the… neck.
Group the gradient with all the shapes you want to apply this gradient is a key solution!
