Thanks @pascoual I have answered it in the Forum : ) but here is a more technical answer .

I have tested, unfortunately we do not have that option currently. Nevertheless it's pretty straight forward to add that but it wouldn't solve other issues, so I think it needs some more development and testing.

Meanwhile and by adding the respective uno command .uno:Line to loleaflet/src/control/Control.Menubar.js as a test (it would probably be in this case an icon on the toolbar) and by updating the commands by running /home/pedro/online/scripts/unocommands.py --update /home/pedro/online/ /home/pedro/LibreOffice/core/ it was visible some of the quirks that sill need to be ironed:

• quite difficult to select the line
• some visual feedback when we are about to draw (cursor)
• some visual feedback while dragging (wonders if that's possible)

Thanks for reporting it, hopefully, we will manage to have this soon : )

@pedropintosilva So is this now resolved, after the merged commits?

[pedropintosilva]

@mrkara yes it's already merged (master) and working everywhere (writer, calc, impress). However in impress insert a line shares the same common bug as describe in #1183 also I have created a small list of improvements regarding line manipulation #1462
