Straight lines: constrain angles

It would be useful to allow the user to constrain straight lines (with a modifier key) to a set of preset angles. This wouldn't cover every possible use case, but could cover the most common pixel art ones.

Specifically, these angles:

For isometric pixelling it will be awesome :D

Yes, +1 to this.

Definitely check out how Piskel does it - I found it super useful and really intuitive. Unlike PyxelEdit's Pencil tool (that will draw straight lines when you press Shift), Piskel has an additional 'Line' tool, and when you press the Shift key using the Line tool, it snaps to the angles billiam showed above. It made a lot of sense to me.
