I think this is a good idea in general, and would like to see it implemented
in more places in Dia.

For example, I mostly want to use snap-to-grid, so I have it turned on by
default. However, sometimes I need to relax that (for example when circling
some interesting area in the diagram), and in that case it would be nice to
press a modification key and turn off snap-to-grid while the key is pressed.

Perhaps the "modification key" could be indicated in the menu beside the
shortcut (if any).
