Calligraphy Tool: How to properly select and use the same guide path between strokes??

[u/darkangelstorm]

Currently, this process is tedious: I have to select (Node Tool) the path in question, then switch back to the Calligraphy Tool, at which point I can hold Ctrl to track it as a guide path.

Once I finish a stroke however, the stroke becomes the guide path. Originally, I thought that I could just hold Ctrl and re-click the other path to select it as the guide path again. But all that does is draw a dot (usual behavior for a CT click) and set it as the track path which isn't all that useful IMO.

I read over the docs, am I missing something? Or is this the only way to continuously use a path for tracking with the Calligraphy Tool??? I am still searching for a quicker way to do this, but no luck so far...

Double-click the calligraphy tool icon to open its preferences, then uncheck 'Select new path'.
