In Mari 4.8, Grid Snapping for the Nodegraph was introduced.

Unfortunately Foundry decided to make it only accessible (e.g. turn it on or off) via the Mari Preferences (Edit / Preferences / Nodegraph Tab), 

making it a general UX Nightmare.


Extension Pack places the most commonly used options for Grid Snapping right in the Nodegraph Right Mouse click menu

and also adds Hotkey Bindings to it.


Grid snap options are now easily accessible in the Right Mouse Click Menu or via Hotkeys
