Using a brush tool and a mouse, I used to be able to make a line by clicking at a point, hold down shift key, and click again at a second point––Photoshop would create a line between the 2 brush clicks. I am not talking about constraining a line to a certain angle. I am talking about connecting 2 brush clicks by holding the shift key.
After installing Photoshop 2019 on a brand new iMac, this function no longer works. Anyone have any idea if there is a setting for this?
That does not sound like a typical Photoshop experience, could you please let us know the exact version of Photoshop you're working with? Verify the version by going to Help > System Info
Also, could you try resetting the preferences of Photoshop and let us know if it helps?
Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes and actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings
Even a fresh install can have issues with preferences, sometimes more than an old version, as thing can get messed up during install. I would still try and reset the preferences.
