This is good news! May I suggest having the same key binding as photoshop as well? it's CTRL+;
Well, I tried but the menu insisted on displaying "Ctrl+semicolon" instead of "Ctrl+;" which looks ugly.
It gets worse: I was writing the previous post from my home linux machine. Now that I'm at work I can see I did not remember the shortcut correctly: It's actually Ctrl+Shift+;.
I was hoping to have the same shortcut because most professional artists combine raster and vector art in their work on a day to day basis, and as you develop this muscle memory of how to do certain things in one program, it gets hard to shift mental gears each time you switch apps. For example, I often find myself trying to pan with the MMB in photoshop or use the spacebar in Inkscape or 3DS max.
But seeing as how the Photoshop shortcut is unnecessarily complex and they're not even 100% consistent within their own application suite, I retract the suggestion.
just for reference here are their actual keyboard shortcuts:
Photoshop CS1 shortcuts: show guides - Ctrl+; show grid - Ctrl+' snap (global on/off) - Ctrl+Shift+;
Illustrator & Indesign CS1 shortcuts: show guides - Ctrl+; show grid - Ctrl+' snap to guides - Ctrl+Shift+; snap to grid - Ctrl+Shift+' smart guides (sort of illustrator only hyper-snap) - Ctrl+U
Corel Draw X3 shortcuts (not a user, found it online): snap to grid - Ctrl+Y snap to objects - Alt+Z
