Chris, I do not use grid mode, grid mode is very visual and allows you to snap to the grid like you stated. I tend to drop my insertion point where I need to do things and make a selection. I am completely blind and do not have any ability to use the grid to some degree. Slip mode is like what it sounds like, if you pay something on top of audio it slips and does not move. Shuffle mode is like what it sounds like, if you paste audio on the timeline it will shuffle existing audio to the right further down the timeline. well, this is how I understand it and if you follow that link I sent in the previous message, you will hear a demonstration of it.
