Default Main window and MIDI editor snap sync

It has come to my attention that there is no way to sync the snap settings between the MIDI editor and the Main window.

It is my personal option the snap settings should should be synced by default because any new user coming from another DAW would expect them to be synced. A far as I know, there is no other DAW that has those settings un-synchronized. It is also cumbersome to have to remember separate snap settings for each window.

I understand that some users may still want those two windows to have separate snap settings.

A checkbox option in the MIDI editor preferences would be an easy solution to this problem. There is already an option to synchronize the grid division setting between the MIDI editor and the main arrange window so I'm hoping it would be simple to add the same kind of option for the snap settings.

A big +1 for this one. I can't remember how many times this has confused me and led to a number of undo states required to fix what I thought I was doing when going back and forth between the midi editor and the arrange window.

I would definitely prefer a global snap on/off.

+1 on global snap on/off

I've managed to make a cycle action so I toggle snap from the midi editor (via "pass key through main windows" action), but I haven't found a way to do it from the main window. If anyone's interested, it's a very simple cycle action:

1 - Make sure the cycle action editor is set for the MIDI editor
2 - Create new cycle action (name it "Snap GLOBAL", or whatever)
3 - First step: "Misc:Pass through key to main window"
4 - Second step: "View: toggle snap to grid"
5 - Apply/save the cycle action and then assign a shortcut for it (likely, the same shortcut you'd use for the main window)
