Thanks for the information but IMHO, there is still something wrong, or that can be improved. Let me rephrase what it does for me :

My current preferences setting is "Snap to Pads : When creating tracks" (not "Always"). I'm using a 50 mils grid. I have several components off this grid.

- No Alt and no Shift : Grid constraint active, and it snaps only on footprint anchors (white circle / target).
- If I use Alt, same behavior as above.
- If I use Shift, the grid constraint is active, but it never snaps (there is never white circle / target)
- If I use Alt + Shift, there is no more grid constraint, and it never snaps (no white circle / target).

In other words, unless I miss something, there is no key combination that allows snapping on non-anchor pads.

The only way is to modify the preferences "Snap to Pads : Always".

Is it the intended behavior ?
