I'm new to mapping and one thing I noticed is I find it hard to accurately go along the grid in either horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
Generally beats should be placed randomly along with using distance snap unless you map with symmetry and shapes, I understand that but sometimes I think it would be great to have a 45 degree snap tool without having to mess about reducing the grid level.
The way this would work is a bit like drawing straight lines in paint or photoshop with the paint tool.
When using the circle or slider tool and grid snap is on, you put the cursor to a point that you want to move in any 45 degree angle. When you hold the assigned button and move the cursor towards one of the 45 degree angles, your cursor will lock in that particular angle and will only move in a straight line along the grid until you let go.
This tool should only be used rarely and not constantly as we don't want boring 45 degree snapped beatmaps. I would use it mainly for finding the horizontal/vertical/diagonal middle of beats so I can align a beat much further away which would end up not being a 45 degree angle from the last beat.
It would also be useful for making square or triangle placed beats and could also work with distance snap.
The assigned shortcut would be usually something like shift but since that is already taken, why not C, don't see the point in two pause/resume shortcuts.
Any thoughts/opinions?
