Situation

While moving anchor points around and…


you currently have Snap to Point and Smart Guides turned on and
you momentarily don’t want the points to snap during this operation.


Problem


You have to exit what you’re doing (moving points) and
your only choice is to visit View and deselect the particular snapping modes (or alternatively hit their keyboard shortcuts)


which is fairly disruptive.

Question

Is there a way around this?

Any solution would do; workaround, plugin, custom hack… that let's you toggle snapping on and off while you’re moving points.

Hold Crtl+U to disable smart guides, and Alt+Crtl+" to disable snap to point.

Sorry, no. There is no way to disable snapping without physically choosing the menu items.

Good feature request though. It should be like Photoshop... Control/right-click to temporarily disable snap.
