Hi James,
you don't need to press CTRL unless you select that CTRL is required (in
Edit>Options>Misc).
Otherwise, what would be easier than just pressing one button?
Of course, you could write a macro that does a measurement as soon as
you release the mouse button. Then, if you have started drawing a line
in the wrong position, there is no way out, its length will be recorded
(unless you terminate the macro with ESC).
