  • [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?

I have the same problem. 

Pressing [N] works the first time after I have started X2. The second time I press [N], it seems to go into the "secondary" snap mode and from there on it's stuck there regardless of how many times I press/hold [N] until I restart X2.

I have submitted a problem report about this.

Oh thank god.

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

Just to be clear on the way it works  'N' is a temporary toggle, as soon as you release N it reverts back to the previous. Ctrl+Shift+N is the permanent swap key combo. If you're not aware of that it may seem that 'N' isn't working. If you are aware, apologies and I'll go back to sleep.....

Odd.

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

Yes, sorry my previous post is a little confusing AFAIK N is a dual use key. Quick press = Snap on/off, press and hold = temporary primary -> alternate swap, release = alternate -->primary.

Permanent primary-->alternate swap = Ctrl+Shift+N

I've read the OP is expecting to see a swap by pressing N which does happen but only while holding it down. I could and probably have completely mis-understood the OP though.

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).

Yes that is incorrect behaviour....

1. is correct
2 & 3. Should turn snap on and off AFAIK

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?

Hi Tripecac,
My "N" button doesn't work at all unless I have something (Inspector, multidock etc) docked in the TV.
