Thanks so much for your message, and I do think that the kind of snapping you describe would be useful. This is what autosketch would call a "nearest" snap with the cursor changing to a triangle to distinguish from a grid point snap.
I've used AutoCAD before but never used "nearest" snap, so it's probably just me that I don't comprehend its full value. Please file a feature request so it won't get lost.
I guess an "intersection" snap (where two shapes cross) could be achieved by inkscape applying this scheme to two distinct curves also?
I don't see how a "nearest" snap scheme would help in doing an intersection snap. Maybe you could elaborate on this a bit?
..., as with moving nodes along a path!
Please file a feature request and explain clearly why this would be useful. I don't see it yet, but that's maybe because I've been spening more timing on coding Inkscape than on using it ;-)
