#216 Ability to draw straight lines
I'm very frustrated not being able to draw nice straight lines.
I need them for example to annotate musical scores with vertical lines or to indicate passages where students have to do a precise work.
I think other users shall want to draw boxes and ellipses as well.
This is a feature request (and indeed a common one), not a patch. If you are using a mouse, the ruler mode lets you do straight lines, just not particularly horizontal/vertical. If you are using a pen, the shape recognizer will convert a reasonably good hand-drawn vertical line into a straight vertical line. I agree that a grid/snap mode for the ruler to make it easier to draw vertical and horizontal lines rather than just oblique straight lines would be useful; alas I don't have time to implement it at the moment.
