Shear
The shear tool allows you to shear the selected geometry. When you activate the tool, then a widget appears that allows you to pull in the desired direction.
The shear happens between the meta elements. This means you need more than one. And you need to select the meta elements first!
Tool Settings
Orientation
Choose the orientation for the shear action.
Drag
When you click at the widget of the active tool, then you perform the tool action. Adjust what should happen when you click outside of the widget, in the empty area.

| Active Tool | When you click off the widget then the click still does the same than clicking at the widget. It performs the active tool. |
| Tweak, Select Box, Circle and Lasso | When you choose this options then you will set the off click to the different select methods. Whereas tweak works more than a move tool then. Tweak is the default. |
