Using constrain keys
Constrain keys let you restrict how objects are drawn or edited. For example, when drawing a line, you can constrain it to be perfectly
horizontal or vertical. You can also change which key is used as the constrain key. You can change the constrain key from Ctrl to Shift, which
is the Windows standard.
