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....

There is working code for this in one of the Pd forks. I've thought about porting it over. It works pretty well for placement but drawing the actual grid is problematic due to the number of lines and some overlapping.
I wasn't thinking about drawing lines on the canvas. I thought more of an invisible feature that could be turn on and off by some shortcut.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. I'd also integrate this with the Tidy Up feature where it would calculate the positions using the grid when snapping is enabled.
