Thanks for asking this question and thanks for those who answered.  This was my question too. I wanted to make a series of straight lines with the Restrict Vertical / Restrict Horizontal turned on and it locked the cursor to wherever the Relative Zero position was.  My confusion came because I followed a LibreCAD tutorial where the instructor used the Restrict Horizontal / Vertical often and I thought he was telling us to turn it on and draw lines but he might have been setting the start point of the line then turning on the Restrict when he was going to set the second point. I will probably be using the Shift Key method too as long as I can remember it.
