That would be a wonderful feature. I wouldn't install a pd fork just for
that, but I spend (and maybe loose) lots of time aligning boxes with the
keyboard.
A "snap to grid" feature with vertical and horizontal grid steps would be
really time saving !
Of course since this is a user/patcher interface it should not be default
behavior or mandatory....
