 **Freehand line (F)** draws an opaque curve by following the mouse. The curve is one object:
 move it, change its color or thickness, clone it, or drag its endpoints. Hold Ctrl to start a new
-stroke over an existing object. The **Line style** selector supports Solid, Dotted, Dashed and
+stroke over an existing object. Hold **Shift** while drawing to constrain the current segment
+to a horizontal, vertical or 45-degree diagonal line; release Shift to resume freehand drawing in the same stroke.
+While holding Shift, moving more than 50 image pixels away from the current line selects a new
+direction at the last drawn endpoint, preserving earlier segments. Shift can be pressed and
+released repeatedly within one stroke. The **Line style** selector supports Solid, Dotted, Dashed and
 Dash-dot; **Ends** supports an arrow at the end, start, both ends, or no arrows. These settings
 apply to selected straight/freehand lines and set defaults for subsequent lines. Both are disabled
 for numbered markers and highlights unless a line drawing tool is active. Undo/Redo includes style changes.
