Midpoint line

Fusion offers this function for rectangles and circles, but not where it is most needed: Lines

 

Would like to start a challenge as I saw this as a feature request that has been closed.

 

I very often need to draw lines (e.g. from a snap point) which get the same length on each side and is colinear. In Solid (called midpoint line) this takes 2 clicks. Mark starting point. Pull line in either direction, line extents to the other side equally. 2nd Click, done.

I know there are tons of workarounds (mirroring, constraining, blabla). But as this is such a absolute "construction basic" thing, I don't want to make 10 clicks every time to get this done. Anyone with a faster idea ? 🙂
