If all you want is a diagonal brush stroke, select the appropriate brush, and the eraser tool, click the start point, and constrain your brush stroke to a diagonal (actually, it constrains to 15° angles) by holding Control. You already know that you can draw a straight line with any of the paint tools by clicking the start point, holding down shift and clicking the end point. The Control key just constrains the operation while you're doing this. Alternatively, if you really want to stroke, you can always select the eraser tool, then stroke with that (see the "Stroke with paintbrush" section at the bottom of the stroke dialog).
