mkv rules ;)

Again, I don't complettly understand you, but I'll give you my opinion, 
anyway. I think Inkscape snap-to function works as a magnet. When you 
get the object close enough to something, it sticks to it. This is 
because Inkscape has several snap-to options. So, if Inkscape wouldn't 
be like this, if you check snap-to-guidelines only, objects would only 
move along guidelines, glued to it. Then, you have to turn it off to go 
on designing. So, with "magnet" mode, you can design with this option 
turned on with no problem and still be able to snap to guides.

Purr, for the moment, would have only snap-to-grid. So, if you want an 
object in 0.5, 0.5, you should be able to do it with arrow keys.

Yes, I also will want to.
