But this does not work for the Highlighter tool. So it's hard to highlight a long string of text well. *** SUMMARY Making clean straight highlighter marks in Spectacle is not easy. Adding CTRL straight line modifier can help. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Take a screen shot 2. Pick highlighter 3. Holding SHIFT does not make the tool 'snap to' a straight line OBSERVED RESULT Highlight mark is not straight EXPECTED RESULT Highlight tool 'snaps to' straight line SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2387497 1 nate 2025-01-07 17:13:16 +0000 Agreed. 2390364 2 bug-janitor 2025-01-16 22:49:52 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/merge_requests/433 2390598 3 noahadvs 2025-01-17 16:23:56 +0000 Git commit f5434a1c25975aafcacffd7d6b58ef25ce8743a6 by Noah Davis.
