[solved] X2 - Snap toggle (n) not working

For some reason, the "n" key is not toggling snap settings for me.

I have both "n" and F3 bound to "Snap to Grid On/Off".

If I hit F3 multiple times, I can see the snap settings turning on and off.

If I hit "n", it toggles snap the first time, but then does nothing with repeated keypresses. I then have to hit F3 again in order for "n" to work (once).

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a workaround?

Oh thank god.

I mean, not that you're having a problem, that sucks, but I was beginning to think it was just me.

Odd.

I can repeatedly hit the 'N' key and I can see snap toggling on/off - this is the expected behaviour yes?

This is the (obviously incorrect) behavior that I see:

1. First quick press of [N] -> snap goes off
2. Second quick press -> secondary snap mode gets activated (which is wrong; expected behavior is that snap should get enabled again)
3. Third quick press and onwards -> nothing happens. From this point on I'm stuck in the secondary snap mode (the "grid" icon).

Just to clarify, here is what was happening:

I have both F3 and "n" bound to "Snap to Grid On/Off". Tapping F3 made the snap buttons go on and off. Tapping "n" only works once. They should both work the same way.

I use the past tense above, because for some reason, "n" is working now. I don't know why. I didn't really change anything on this end, other than restart Sonar X2.

Has "n" started working for anyone else?

The N key toggles snap to grid in its "natural" state.  Try unbinding that key entirely.  It could be some sort of collision.  For most, it's working as expected.  So I'm suspecting a specific setting is causing this for you.  

Just got off the phone with support and mine is fixed. Here's what the problem was. I had a manual binding of "N" to toggle snap. Evidently, "N" is hard coded as a keyboard shortcut and having it additionally manually mapped (even though it was the same binding) was causing a problem that manifested in the behavior I was seeing.

BTW, the support guy was great (didn't get his name, sadly). Kudos.

Since the problem fixed itself for me, and since unbinding keys from "Snap to Grid On/Off" still allows the "n" key to work, I'll go ahead and mark this "solved" (assuming Firefox lets me do it).
