Description Matthias Wienand

Currently, the different IFXOnDragPolicy implementations respect the snap-to-grid setting within the GridModel, i.e. the positions of manipulated objects are constrained to lie on grid points. However, the user should be able to overwrite the snap-to-grid setting by pressing a modifier key, so that precise manipulations that are not constrained can be performed while snap-to-grid is enabled.

I implemented skipping of snap-to-grid when a certain modifier key is pressed during the respective drag interaction. The code is published on the master branch, therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 5.0.0 M2.
