Inkscape

Is there a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable SNAPS?

Asked by Jorge Toledo

I haven't found a shortcut to enable and disable snaps. Is it missing or have I missed it somehow?

It would be very useful if I you could turn ON/OFF snaps while drawing, without having to move the pointer or even end the actual command you're using.

Thank you in advance!

Not at all, Jorge.

In fact reference page have it:

*% **toggle snapping on and off*

Yes, I think Shift + 5 (which is %) makes more sense :)

Cheers, Oleg

No, because it doesn't work with all kind of keyboards.
On my azerty one, % is Shift+ù.

Keyboard shortcuts internationalization is really complex...

Huh, didn't realize it was in fact "%" not just "shift+5". A somehow funny difference ;)

Thank you very much!
