Technically I would expect the mid point snap to snap to all
intermediate points but I can also see the usefulness of the other
option where the it only snaps to the last edge at the midpoint.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't personally like to endorse the work around suggested as
it would be a laborious fix that only gets compounded as the face
count increases. It would be far faster to workaround the no
midpoint snapping by subdividing the starting and target edges and
then cut a linear line between the newly created verts.<br>
<br>
If we really don't want to add another hotkey (though perhaps
something like double CTRL press would work?) I would suggest
keeping the snapping to intermediate points option as it's much
slower to workaround.<br>
<br>
Perhaps we could add a new addition to the constrain angle where the
tool gives an option to snap to midpoints instead of adding a new
hotkey?<br>
<br>

<div>where the user complained that the 2.69 behavior was to
snap to the middle of the intermediate edges too. Though I
kind of liked the newer behavior (not snapping to the
intermediate points), I agreed that this was a behavior
regression and so "fixed" it to the 2.69 behavior.</div>

<div>I lean towards reverting to the "don't snap to the middle
of the intermediate edges" method, because there is an easier
workaround to get the other mode: just click on each edge as
you cross it while drawing the line (in midpoint snap mode).
And the star example in the T40805 discussion is compelling.
(But one could also say the that half-wheel example in T39617
is compelling.)</div>

</div>
<div>What is the right answer? I don't think this is important
enough to make an option or have different key stroke
shortcuts for the two different midpoint-snapping modes.</div>
