The shift key has always been there, and is frankly a bit wimpy on it's own, needing a helping hand from some other key to do things like... I don't know, make letters a different shape?

Shift and alt have a secret weapon up their sleeve in Toon Boom however and apologies in advance because once you get used to it you'll probably have struggle drawing with anything else.

So yeah, just a heads up... It's pretty neat, at least I reckon it's an alright feature. Don't judge me...
