The problem I see here is that if you have guides enables and grid disabled and you \
are close to a guide but you want to place the object not on the guide but only close \
the user would disable snapping by pressing shift. But when this automatically \
switches grid on he will he has not the posibility to place it where he likes as the \
grid gets in his way. That is why I propsed: If grid, guide or both is on shift \
disables themIf grid and guide is of shift enables guide. I see that we have here a \
conflict between you want to be able to position your object where you like so \
switching snapping off, or the user expects to toggle snap to grid by shift. \
