How to make perfectly vertical / horizontal lines with drawing tools

Can I draw perfect vertical or horizontal lines using the brush tool without a ruler? I'd like to know if you can do it in the same way Photoshop does on Clip studio, by just holding the shift key for example.

    Thanks for your answer but that's not what I was talking about, if I press shift I can get an straight line, but not a prefectly horizontal or vertical one, and pen pressure doesn´t work, it's not the same as in Photoshop.

    Ah sorry, you can hold SHIFT to constrain the line to (preset) angle degree
    when you use LINE TOOL. You can customize the value of the angle, it can be 15 or 90 degrees etc.

    For regular brushes I guess you have to use rulers, they are not as complicated as they seem.
    If you use parallel line ruler ,
    - you can change it's direction/angle by using object tool , hold ALT and click/drag the direction on canvas the ruler will match the gesture.
    - you can constrain the angle (preset, say to 90) by holding SHIFT+ALT and click/drag the direction on canvas the ruler will match the nearest angle of the gesture you've made.

    As for pressure try changing tablet mode in preferences, and /or change the brush size parameter to use "pen pressure" controller (click the small divot by the parameter to open the operator panel).

    Thanks again for your help but I know how to use those rulers but I was asking if there was a hot key I can use to get that result. I think there´s no such a thing unfortunately U-U

    There is none.
    Some things are done differently in CSP - PS.
    If you are making a complete transition you will have to adjust the workflow.
