Horizontal and vertical lines

[scaleoutsean]

Description of requested feature:

• Hold a key + draw a line for 0 or 90 degree line
• Optional: "snap" to N angles (2 or 3 for 0/90 and 0/45/90 angle combinations, for example), or even "lock" to 0 and 90 deg

Reasons for adding feature:

• Line angle can't be adjusted after it's been drawn
• Hard to draw straight lines
• I almost always draw only 0 and 90 degree lines

Extra information, such as Shutter version, operating system and ideas for how to implement:

• None

+1 for this feature, especially being able to snap an existing line object (line or arrow) to either 0 or 90 degrees.

Holding Control or Shift when using the freehand tool will draw a horizontal or vertical line, but this has the major drawback that the line can't be resized (other than its thickness).
