Shift key down in Illustrator

[N.H. Angelo347842213q5g]

Is there a way in Illustrator to mantaining shift key down without pressing all the time? And then, of course, Shift key up.

Thanks in advance

In Illustrator you cannot set it up like that.

What is it that you need to achieve with that setting?

Thank you for answer.

I'd like drawing straight lines or 45° angled without staying with my finger on shift key.

N.H.,

Smart Guides are your friends, saying when you are close enough to (snap to) 0/45/90 degrees and further (or other angles that you can choose freely).

You can read on here,

You may wish to turn that help off if/when you wish to draw freely close to those angles, in which case they can be overly helpful.

Thank you very much!

You are welcome, N.H.

I think you are going to be really happy with this suggestion, but the change will be for all apps.

On mac you can edit the accessibility preference, to turn on sticky keys.  Windows should most likely have the same as they really are similar on so many prefs

.

Click on the options button to help with features such as enabling disabling.

Thank you very much. This s a great suggestion.
