Hi all,
I just added two checkboxes to the grid settings:
Thanks for the improvements to snap. I was wondering, while you are at it, how hard would it be to create something which does the opposite? Ill explain -
Sometime I want to still see the grid, but disable snapping for a while. By "for a while" I mean that I usually work with snap enabled, for example when I draw boxes and move things, but here and there would like to do something freehand - for example, frehand line drawing - in which case I need to disable all snap. Opening the document properties dialog and unchecking all boxes works, but it's awkward and requires me to later re-check all those boxes later.
Is it possible to create a universal "snap on/off" command which will be in the menu so there won't be a need to keep the document preferences dialog open all the time? When it's on, it will respect all the settings in the dialog. When off, no snap will be active. Ideally this should be in the view menu below grid and guides.
Bug #170970 in the bug tracker suggests something similar. I'm okay with both icon and menu item, either should work. I think it would be really helpful.
Thank you for your work on Inkscape so far - Michael
