Line tool needs Ctrl to lock angle only after drag has begun #3771
Description
Ctrl is the shortcut for the Line tool to lock the current angle. But currently, it takes effect if Ctrl is held before the click and drag for drawing a new line, which is not desired, because Ctrl is also used to allow drawing a new line snapped to the endpoint of an existing line (rather than dragging around that endpoint). Ctrl should only lock the line's angle if it is pressed after the dragging is already occurring, whether that's for a new line or for dragging the endpoint of an existing line.

#3773 might resolve it, but it has not been reviewed yet. You are welcome to attempt it too, in which case the better (not earlier) of the two implementations may be merged. Up to you if you want to try it or go with another one without an attempt already awaiting review.
