is there any way to make objects snap to each other in inkscape?
E.g.
when I move a square close to another one, the corners would get
magnetic.
The roadmap says "Object-to-object snapping / Snap points" is planned for 0.48

Myself, I'd appreciate knowing how to "snap to grid". I see it in the Document Preferences / Grid dialog, but so far haven't been able to
get
it working.
If we're lucky, we may see object to object snapping sooner than that, as people were recently working on the snapping function.
I believe that you can toggle snapping & grid is with 'Shift+' or '|' and for snapping and guides you've made it's 'Shift+3' or '#'. Both toggle respective functions on and off. I haven't used in a while, but you can reference the "Keys and Mouse" through the Help menu.
