Hi All,
I would like pcbnew and the module editor to snap to line ends, when they are 
closer to the mouse than the next grid point. Maybe it's usefull to have a key 
combination that switches from snap to grid, into snap to line ends.
i don't know how to do this. The function GetNearestGridPosition is used to 
determine the next grid point, but this function does not know where the line 
ends are. I would like to write a function something along the lines of this 
pseudo code:
GetNearestSnapObject
{
    if (GetNearestLineEnd is nearer than GetNearestGridPosition)
        pos=GetNearestLineEnd
    else
        pos=GetNearestGridPosition
    return pos.
}
Maybe it's usefull to snap also only one axis along a line, so you can draw a 
vertical line, that automatically snaps on the intercept point with a vertical 
line. Maybe also the center, and the edge of an arc. 
Maybe it's usefull to snap on all objects, perhaps after a key combination is 
pressed.
Is this a good idea?
Kind regards,
Cedric
