Add Default Settings for 2D Snap Step

[DleanJeans]

Describe the project you are working on: a 2D Top Down Shooter

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
I want to snap to 5 or 10 px Grid Step instead of 8 px but couldn't find the default settings for them so I have to change them every scene.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation:
Add default settings for the configurations in the picture above (especially Grid Step which is what I need)

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudocode, mockups, and/or diagrams:
Add them to Editor Settings: Editors > 2d along with the color settings.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?: No.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?: This is an editor patch.

What version are you using? In 3.2 when you create a new scene, it automatically keeps the snap settings from the last scene that was opened.

For some reason, I remember having to change it half a dozen times. I'll keep it closed until it happens again.

this always gets reset. I have to do it again and again. can someone reopen please. @KoBeWi approach doesn't work. snap mode also gets reset. I'm on v3.4.2.

2D editor snap settings are set on a per-scene basis, not a per-project or editor-wide basis. This is why you have to set it several times in the same project.

There's probably a case for making this setting per-project instead of per-scene, but this should be discussed in a separate proposal. A per-project setting would also allow for saving this in version control, as per-scene metadata isn't saved to version control.

Yeah I had this problem in a new project. Basically if you already opened some scenes, they will have the old settings stored. So whatever settings will a new scene have depends on what scene you have opened when creating a new one. So this solution isn't very reliable unfortuantely.

Yes, at least one. An entire genre called 2d top-down rpg.

Or at least it should be possible to set a default for new scenes and can override it for specific scenes.

This is not about making it per-project setting but adding possibility to change the default value which is currently 8xp.

It's annoying that it needs to be changed in every scene. The feature that keeps the snap settings from the last opened scene works only on new scenes if I open already existing scene, in which I never used grid before, it defaults to 8px.

There is already editor-wide default setting 8px why not allow to change it?

A hardcoded value isn't an editor setting 🙂

That said, feel free to open a pull request for this. For comparison, we do have a default camera FOV editor setting, even though it can be overridden on a per-scene basis.
