Here I clicked on "Use info window" to get a date window to pop up, similar info is found at the bottom of the image in the horizontal window.

6.4.3. Key modifiers

Shift

Holding down the Shift allows to start a new measure from the pointed point without deleting the previous measure. Angle is measured from the previous line and not from the default horizontal. The mouse pointer goes with a "+" sign. So, you can measure any angle on the image.

Ctrl

Holding down the Ctrl key puts the tool into constrained straight line mode. The orientation of the line is constrained to the nearest multiple of 15 degrees.

Ctrl key pressed and click on an end point creates a horizontal guide. The mouse pointer goes with the icon.

Alt

Alt key and click on an end point creates a vertical guide. The mouse pointer goes with the icon.
Ctrl+Alt

This key combination and click on a measure line allows to move the measure.

Ctrl+Alt key combination and click on an end point creates a vertical and a horizontal guides.
