This is an interesting idea. I seem to remember some general drawing package years ago (Micrografx Designer, maybe?) which, when drawing a line, would force it to perfectly vertical or horizontal if you dragged the second endpoint while holding down one of the modifier keys.

This was a general rule on the Macintosh. They used shift as the modifier and called it contraint, because it constrained the mouse moves to 8 possible directions (0�, 45�, 90�, ...). I am sure to have seen this in windows programs, too.
