How do you create a new point these days?

As in starting fresh on a new mesh? It used to be shift, but it seems to have changed?

To start a new spline, select the Add Edge tool in the Point Editor. Then Shift+Click-Drag in an empty space to add the first edge.

Either I'm misunderstanding something or that does not work.

To me, a new spline would be the tools you use for lathe, which is not what I mean.  (those dont require holding down anything anyway, just clicking and dragging normally)
But when I hit the add edge button and hold shift while dragging, literally nothing happens.

Edit: oops, I see now. I had to make sure I wasnt on the shaded modes. It appears to work now.

Follow up question, it looks like points go way further than where my mouse is, is this just something I need to get used to in the latest version or can I put it back to precisely following where my cursor is?
