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.

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....

- snap to grid horizontally makes much more sense to me than vertically -
cos most of the time you just want to keep you patch cables straight.
- an easy way to turn it on/off would also be very handy.
- i would also really like this
I would make it hot key toggle option. It could be a gui preference but maybe better to keep transient.

then you should probably start using the "autopatch" feature. i found it helps tremendously if you are going for neatly aligned patches (which i do).

I do the same. It would be great if "shift + up" and "shift + down" would move the objects "object height + autopatch distance" pixel instead of 10 pixel.
Since 0.48-1 it is now "shift + up", "shift + up", "up", "up", "up" to move one block of code up one row with font size 12.
best wishes, ingo
