No.

Let's take an example to be more easy to understand :
I want to make a beat, using one shot samples.
I want to insert the same hihat sample every quarter bar. So i insert the first one, but the sample's lenght is not exactly the same than the grid's lenght (it is one shot, and not looped to the tempo).
SO i would like to be able to quickly hit a key to jump to the next gridline, then i only have to hit [ctrl+V] to insert a new instance of my sample, etc.
That way, i can program beats without using my mouse.
I was doing this very often using Acid, and it was very quick.
THe other advantage of this technique, is that when a loop is 99% of a bar's lenght, you don't often notice it, and using such a "jump to gridline before pasting" technique, you're 100% sure that your sample will start at the correct point : no bad surprise while looping, etc.
