Tips & Notes
If you select an empty area while path points are selected, you can deselect the path, but the shape group will be selected instead. This is a specification of AE. If you click on the empty area again, the selection will be completely deselected.
It is not possible to make the path points of multiple shape layers selected at once. This is a specification of AE.
When shape layers overlap and are difficult to select, it is recommended to use “Ctrl + Up/Down” to switch selections with relative ease.
