Overview:

BetterHandles is a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator that combines a tool and palette to make working with Bezier curve handles easier and more powerful. Select multiple handles, and collectively move, extend, rotate, or retract them. Extend or retract handles without changing their angles. Copy and paste handles. Edit points numerically: anchor, in handle, out handle. Convert multiple points from corner to smooth or vice versa. Automatically extend new handles on multiple points. Intuitively reshape path segments, optionally constraining handle directions. Use slow-drag to divide the cursor movement for extremely precise moves. Equalize a point's handles. See all the handles on a path while editing it. Split a path at one or more points. Delete one or more points and close the path around them. See when the cursor is over a handle, point, or path--without having to use Smart Guides. BetterHandles is compatible with Illustrator CS4 on both platforms, includes an ability to copy and paste handles, Alt/Option-clicking on a path can optionally add a point to the path instead of showing the path's handles, and adds an indicator lights if there are redundant points on any selected paths.In version 1.31, document-specific units setting is now honored, as well as Application-wide setting (CS3 and higher).
