Hey. When I press the gradient tool, the line is horizontal. I would want it to be perfectly vertical, and when I move the nodes and press ctrl it still isn't straight. I thought that pressing ctrl would move the line at every 45° angle, but when I do it, it simply is a little bit on the right. If i move the nodes myself until it visually seems straight, it's not guaranteed that it is at 90°, and it would be difficult to be the exact same with another line that I want to use paralel to this one.
