  • Building straight lines on the board

Good afternoon. I teach mathematics. It is very inconvenient to use the Line tool. Because there is a binding to the elements. And sometimes it works very poorly when there are many different elements in the geometry in the drawing.

I would like you to implement the function of quickly building straight lines by pressing a key on the keyboard. A perfect example: in the Microsoft Whiteboard application. When Marker mode (Pen) is enabled, hold down the SHIFT key. You can build a huge number of lines and shapes, respectively.

While working on the topic of cross sections, I have to switch to another service with a student. Because it is implemented there easier and much more convenient to use. I would like to be able to build straight lines at any angle at any point without changing the Pen mode. Without linking to objects
