I think a universal snap on/off switch would be very handy, both as keyboard shortcut and a menu item.

That shortcut is intended to be Shift - press Shift while dragging to avoid snapping. Unfortunately it does not currently work in most cases, because it's already used for other purposes (Selector: symmetric transform around center, Node: drag out the handle if it's retracted). I think we need to change it so that these modes are only enabled if you press Shift _before_ starting to drag; if you start dragging and then press Shift it must disable snapping instead. What do you think?
