LibreCAD is not TurboCAD. TurboCAD has some nice features that you are unlikely to see in LibreCAD.
The quickest way to become proficient is to use the Manual, wiki, and web searches.
Restrict Vertical/Horizontal: This option can be found in the snap toolbar. If you start a line or other entity with this restriction off, you can then activate it to constrain the end of the entity to a vertical or horizontal alignment relative to the starting point.
Shift Key: When drawing a line with the generic "Line" tool, holding down the Shift key after starting the line will constrain the line to 15° angle intervals, including perfectly horizontal and vertical lines.
