Arrange object snap off, a short cut?

LayOut

Hi!

When placing text, signs etc in LO it often is convenient to toggle snap on and off - but I only find “On” in Preferences Short cuts?

How is it possible to turn the default On to Off by a keystroke?

(By the way, I’m loving it - SU & LO! I even make a living from using them as tools for event planning)

I don’t use a shortcut for that purpose but is it not a toggle, ie. click once for On and again for Off?

Sorry, I was a little fast there…

What I mean is that there is a short cut only for Object Snap On.

I also want a short cut for Object Snap Off.

I’ve just tried it and it works exactly as I suggested. I set up O as the shortcut. I then drew two rectangles. The default was Object Snap on. After I pressed O I could no longer connect the two rectangles using object snapping. Pressing O again turned it back on. In other words , it is a true toggle switch. Like a light switch in fact. You don’t need separate switches to turn the lights on and off.

Cool, thanks!

I must have some finger trouble here, I’ll check it out.

Thanks again

There are also Snap toggle toolbar buttons you can add to the toolbar.
(There button images change to indicate the status. Their under the Arrange menu commands.)

Thanks but I really meant my last post before that one since that was the relevant one!
