Why can I no longer use this tool?

Why is this tool now always greyed out?

see attachment

I used to use it all the time
while using lines and geometry

If it is not needed, why is it still here?

It used to just be active when adjusting or drawing a new node and holding SHIFT to constrain the direction.

Now you have to hold the SHIFT button to constrain your movement and then press 'Q' to activate the tool.

That is a quirk indeed. I'll post it to the attention of the developers.

Best regards.
