Don't hold the shift key down! If you grab a side, only the width will change; grab top or bottom, only the height will change; grab a corner and change both at once.
in addition, it is not necessary to first know whether you need to hold down a key or not, when you drag with the mouse.
You can just start resizing the image with the mouse. If you see that it resizes proportionally while you wanted it non-prportionally or the other way round, just keep pressing the mouse button, don't release it, and press the Shift key, too.
Only when you release the mouse button then the software looks if there is an additional key held down or not and acts accordingly. This is the same for moving/copying/creating a link by dragging files or objects.
This is so intuitive and easy and cool that I would not want this to be changed.
