: Can you draw a constrained straight line with GIMP's paths tool? In GIMP, you can (in various modes) draw a constrained straight line which will "snap" the line you're drawing to the nearest
In GIMP, you can (in various modes) draw a constrained straight line which will "snap" the line you're drawing to the nearest 15 degree angle, making it easy to draw lines in a precise direction. For example, in paintbrush mode, you do this by clicking one point, releasing, holding shift+ctrl, then moving the cursor to the next point of the line and clicking.
Is there any way to do this in paths mode? I can't seem to use this method to get an exactly horizontal path segment, for example.

You can switch on the Grid, and Snap to Grid to constrain a path. Also once you have drawn a path, you can rotate it with the Rotate Tool - use the Path option in the Rotate tool options, click on the path, and set the angle of rotation you wish.
Here's an example of an exact 45 degree path
Possible with the free Selection tool. Then go to Select -> to path. You'll see you path in the Paths toolbox.
