Hello
One reason for having resistors, and other electronic components,
snap to the grid is to make it easy to snap a connecting line or
component to the end of that resistor. For this reason it makes
more sense for the resistor ends to snap to the grid than to hav

If I place a resistor, and then a zig zag line, then I move an end of the
zzline near an end point of the resistor the resistor get a red outline
indicating there is a connection between the "grips," if I let the line go
while the red outline is present then when I move the resistor the line
track
It works for me: Pick item, press cursor key, item moves.

I'm finding some of the component objects in dia (like the resistor
objects) very annoying to use because the centre of the the object
doesn't snap to grid.
I.e. if you get a resistor and shrink it to be fairly small then it's
the top edge of the resistor that snaps to the grid which is quite
usel
Does dia have a mechanism for moving objects by very small amounts?
Many programs I have used have the ability to use the arrow keys when
you want to move an object by a few pixels. Can dia do something like this?
