Issue still persists on paint.net 5.0 (β 5.0.8395.39754). There's a possibility to draw 3 straight lines with the new tool, but what if you want a straight line from A to B? what if you do a small correction on point B? The line becomes not a line A->B, but two lines A->C->B! Or even three if you do a small correction on A!

Aha, I see, then, I wish the best of luck on the implementation! Can't wait for this feature 😀 Thanks!

Also discussions here:

Currently in paint.net there is no way to adjust a line to keep it straight. Let me explain with a short use-case. Let's say I want to draw a ladder, I've got some parts done, what's left is just one straight line: Then, I add it: But—I've overshot it—oh no! So I zoom in to see exactly where I need to put it: Aha! Fixed! But wait— The line is not straight anymore! What I expect to make is: But currently, (let's say on wide (or any other) image files, where you cannot accurately place both start and end points) there is no possibility to adjust straight line start and end points. If I'm not mistaken, this was supported a while (8-15 years) ago, but recently it's gone. It's so strange that there is currently no possibility to do this. I don't know how it could work, but the simplest (personally intuitive) solution would have straight lines as an option in the line tool. Another solution would be to hold a button (alt? shift? ctrl?) while dragging one of the two endpoints, but this would be hard to discover and hidden. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe there's currently a way to adjust straight lines, but I'm unaware of it?

Is there any technique, way, method or plugin that could do (something like) this?

Multiply makes it darker, while Additive makes it more like normal.
