Hello, I was working with time remapping everything was fine and then it started to snap to frames making it uncomfortable to work with short clips.

Hello, I know this solution but it doesn't work for me because my cursor is still snapping to the frames.

I am not sure i follow, but when you edit video you do it on a frame basis and not in semi-frame basis so snapping to frames is the expected thing. You can set the timeline to Show Audio Time Units as it will snap 48000 times/second if you have the sample rate of the timeline set to 48000 Hz. Editing video will still be on a frame basis, but the scrolling appears smoother.

You can disable snapping temporary when needed.

 

You can either press S on your keyboard to disable snapping or click on the Snap in Timeline icon on the timeline. Press S or click the Snap in Timeline icon on the timeline to enable snapping again.
