When you want to create a perfect square or circle or draw a straight line in a document

Drawing a rectangle

To draw a rectangle, click the rectangle tool in the right toolbar or use the shortcut, the letter M. Click and drag to draw your rectangle. To create a perfect square, hold down the Shift key as you draw and it’ll keep all sides equal. To draw a circle, click and hold the rectangle tool icon until these extra options appear, and select the Ellipse tool. Or use the shortcut, the letter L. Click and draw to create an ellipse. To create a perfect circle, hold down the Shift key as you draw, just like we did with the square.

Resizing your shape

To resize your shapes, click the select tool (shortcut letter V), then click and drag from the corners or the sides. again, hold the Shift key to keep the same proportions as your original shape you drew. Or hold the Option/Alt key to resize it from both sides at the same time, in equal proportions.

Rotating your shape

To rotate your shape, click the select tool (shortcut letter V), select your shape, then put your cursor just outside one of the corners until it turns to a curved arrow. Then click and hold and move your mouse to rotate the shape. You can also rotate at a specific angle using the rotate tools at the top of the toolbar when your shape is selected.

Drawing a line

To draw a line, select the Line tool, or use the shortcut, the backslash key. Click and drag to draw a line. To draw your line perfectly straight or in perfect 45 degree increments, hold down the Shift key as you draw. To draw your line from the center point rather than one side, hold down the Option key as you draw.

To do both – keep it perfectly straight and draw from the center point, hold down both Shift + Option/Alt as you draw. You can use the same methods to resize + rotate your line as I showed you with the rectangle and circle. Hold the Option/Alt key to resize it from both sides at the same time and in equal proportions. Rotate from either side with the curved arrow, or use the rotate tools in the top toolbar.
