cowlinator Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Q: How can I draw straight horizontal or vertical lines in Paint.net? A. The shift key. Select the line tool, and then hold down the shift key while creating the line via dragging with the mouse. Oddly, I couldn't find this information anywhere when googling, using the expected keywords. You'd have to google "Lock rotation to 15° increments". Which nobody will. Which is the reason I'm making this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Such information is made available in the Paint.NET documentation. https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/LineCurveTool.html#3 https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/KeyboardMouseCommands.html Quote (June 9th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Stands to reason the SHIFT key modifier can be used to create vertical and horizontal lines.
