I was always too bone idle to set up a fence. Not any more. Cheers.

[@howtoirfo]

Yeah, I understand that feeling 😁 When I need a straight edge I use this technique, but usually freehand is good enough for me also 😁😁

Agree that's one way to get a straight, relatively tear free (at least on one side) cut. But that marker (while great for a video demo) is WAY TO WIDE to be accurate. If I want a 4 inch cut - I want EXACTLY (as close as I can) 4 inches. The line is too wide (looks like 1/16" or 3/32"). I'd use a SHARP pencil or better yet, a marking knife. And you have to think about which SIDE of the line you are cutting on.

[@howtoirfo]

Yes, you are absolutely right, this marker is definitely too thick for precise cutting, it is just for demonstration purposes.
Perhaps if you want to use a circular saw for that precise cutting, even if you press it against a guide like this jigsaw can still wander a little bit.
Thank you for your experience 👍👍

It's pointless to try to make any accurate cut with a jigsaw. Waste of lumber. You will always end up with an ugly cut.
