Drawing a straight line using Photoshop on iPad Pro

Hi,

I am currently learning Photoshop on my MacBook Pro and got to learn that a straight line can be drawn with brushes using the shift key. I don't have a graphic tablet, but I have an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. And I got to learn that the shift method of drawing a straight line isn't available on iPad Photoshop. Hence, I am writing this here to request for this feature. Hope others who need this feature vote for it.

Why was this not a day one feature, seems like a huge oversight. I just wat to draw a straight line, not fill text boxes in with color, what a waste of time! I can't believe I had to resort to using a physical straightedge on my $2000 iPad. Give us our shift button!

Yeah. I really hope add this feature on the iPad app. My iPad Pro has a keyboard attachment, it would be nice if we get this to work on that.

Do you have a keyboard attachment for your iPad Pro?

I agree it's not as comfortable to use as the shift option and it really slows you down when working. I really hope adobe will add this feature

Hi,

I read those suggestions but thought the shift+paint method to be better. I feel the way that is implemented on desktop photoshop is a more intuitive way to draw straight lines.
