Feature Request Line Tool

[James108]

When drawing a line using F2 it would be useful to have the option to draw a Horizontal or Vertical line

For Example

Hold CTRL key while drawing line and it snaps to perfect horizontal Hold the Shift Key and it snaps to perfect vertical

Update:

I would suggest adding a feature to toggle the display of the current price on the line if the line is horizontal

That's an interesting thought, and could see where that might come in handy, probably more so for the horizontal line vs the vertical.. I don't necessarily use the line that way very often, but I can think of several things off hand where that could be useful, versus struggling at times to try and get it that way.. +1 but on the lower priority side for me..

Hello James108,

Thank you for your post.

I will forward your suggestion.

I implemented that once where only one control key was needed to handle both cases. The control key meant "snap to horizontal or vertical, whichever is closer." It worked very well.

[James108]

that is a good idea
