That would be a wonderful feature. I wouldn't install a pd fork just for that, but I spend (and maybe loose) lots of time aligning boxes with the keyboard. A "snap to grid" feature with vertical and horizontal grid steps would be really time saving ! Of course since this is a user/patcher interface it should not be default behavior or mandatory....
