[Bf-committers] Grid

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Added to this issue, is the confusement about the way CTRL and  
SHIFT_CTRL delimitors work. They're supposed to be 'snapping to grid',  
but when zoomed in or out they still snap to the original 1.0 size grid.

Simplest idea I now can find is do what computer maps visualize. Icons  
like this:

    0.1           1            10          100
|________|   |________|   |________|   |________|

Can be drawn tiny in a window corner, denoting zoom level plus  
behaviour for the 'snap to' modifiers. Maybe some extra stylish design  
can add visual clues for zoomlevel.
