Copy-paste explanation of functionality request: On the ruler, one can setup tab stops. However, the tab stops are not snapping at specific intervals like if there was a grid. They are free floating, which make them difficult to manage and set them at a proper place, specially when working on a high resolution screen. By default, they should snap, snapping should be an option that can be enabled/disabled and the interval for the snap grid should be configurable.
