    GraphView has snapping, buuut... it kinda stinks. Boxes snap horizontally and vertically to other boxes, but when I saw this feature on the roadmap that's really not what I had in mind. I thought we would get grid snapping, independent of how other boxes in the view are placed.

    It's really annoying right now, because the snapping usually prevents me from placing boxes where I actually want, snapping to some far-off field in the distance I wasn't even focusing on. I also spent a lot of time organizing things like I'm threading a needle... having a unified grid that these boxes snap to would be so much easier.

    A little late, but I'd still like to request this feature while this Q&A is running, might as well right?

    @CaseyHofland I will mark this as a feature request for GTF since we are only maintaining and supporting GraphView.

    If it already supports it, where is documentation on how to use it?

    Thank you for your time.
