Directional Light & CTRL+L

hello friends, hope everyone is well… So if you watched the beginners video when he is setting up the lights and uses ctrl+L to get the light direction module and it drove you bonkers, i think i figured it out. was driving me crazy and saw the posts and threads about it, so after about an hour of having an ocd conniption trying to figure it out, here it is…

hold control… THEN press and hold “L” and rotate the light. do NOT click in the screen, do NOT release either ctrl or L or else the module vanishes… the light does not have to be selected for this to work. just move the mouse and the light will follow.

hope that helps…
