Any way to disable the 5.0.4 'centering' feature that happens when you press down Ctrl whilst using the Line/Curve tool?

[LiveLoudLunatic]

Hey, gang! Just updated to 5.0.6 today, not sure how many versions behind I was but I know I was on a pre-5.0.4 version. Don't update too often, but decided today was one of those days where I'd take the plunge.

5.0.4 introduced a feature where if you press Ctrl whilst using the Line/Curve tool, it 'centers' the line. Is there any way to either turn this feature off, or change the keybind away from Ctrl? It's definitely messing with my process, as I routinely held down Ctrl in preparation to zoom out on an area and zoom in on something else without having to pause for more than a second or so, whereas now it takes a little longer. Centering isn't even a bad feature, I just wish it was something I could either enable and disable at will, or bind to something other than Ctrl.

Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place, I'm new to the forums despite having used the software for 8+ years, not sure if there's a better place I should be asking about this.

Thanks!

Hello @LiveLoudLunatic and welcome to the forum  

 

Hold down the Shift instead?

[Rick Brewster]

Shift will constrain the line to an angle that is a multiple of 15 degrees.

 

I’ve been looking for a way to ameliorate this hazard with centering versus zooming, but have yet to land on a design that I’m happy with. Suggestions are welcome.

This has been changed from Ctrl to Alt in 5.0.8, and you can try the beta today:

Would love for there to just be the option to change keybinds manually. The Alt key being bound to this drawing mode isn't much better than Ctrl, as I now have to remember to tap it after every time I Alt+tab to another window. Letting users adjust these keys themselves would be a lot more efficient than changing hardcoded keybinds every time a problem like this comes up.

Install the 5.0.9 update, it fixes that.
