Hotkey for "snapping" on the toolbar

I want to assign a hotkey for "Snapping" check mark/switch but I didn't find this option in the keyboard settings. Is there a way to do this? I use it very often and on a huge screen it is very inconvenient to constantly reach the top left corner.

    Correct answer Vadym B.

    I accidentally found a solution (I think). Apparently, if you hold down the "cmd" key, the movement sticks just like when "snapping" is enabled. Is this the same or are there differences?

    Hi Vadym, Thanks for reaching out.


    Unfortunately, by default there isn't a built-in shortcut you can assign to it directly. That makes it a great candidate for a feature request. The Snapping toggle is used often enough that a shortcut for it makes sense. You can post it here:

    I'll also pass this along to the product team as workflow feedback. Let me know if there are any other questions.


    Thanks,

    Nishu

    I checked internally. You’re right. Holding down Ctrl/Cmd will invert the state of the checkbox in the toolbar, so it will enable snapping since it is off by default. They are the same thing.

    Guess you don’t need to write a feature request now. Sorry for the incorrect information above, and thanks for updating the thread.

    Feel free to reach out if there are any other questions.
