Ability to turn off the "Line Auto-snapping"

Surprised to see this feature requested so long ago, but yes I would love the ability to disable line snapping.

I’m adding my vote! My specific need in this case is non-snapping arrows (and lines). I often find that an arrow really wants to snap to something while I’m just trying to make a small adjustment.

I end up drawing the desired arrow somewhere on the side, and moving it to the correct place. This feels awkward!

My use cases are:

• Trying to point to a specific part of a larger whole, like an image
• Sequence diagrams: trying to point at a specific part of a shape
• Trying to accurately point “in the general direction” of something, esp for sloppier idea-diagrams

My ideal experience would be to use a keyboard modifier while dragging an arrow endpoint, to indicate that I want to adjust the position manually without snapping to anything.

This is an inexcusable omission from the Figma team and is a baseline feature on every other collaborative whiteboard on the market. This–by default–renders FigJam as an incomplete & inferior product in the marketspace.

Just passing to give my support to such a basic feature, if in 3 years they are ignoring this, the chances is that they keep ignoring, but I would not abide from expressing my desire.

I found a support article that allows you to disable end-point snapping, but the keyboard key isn’t working on. Has anyone else managed to use this and does it answer this request for now? I still think this is a key feature for FigJam to have.

Disabling line snap with Ctrl also not working for me on Windows.
Given this feature appears in the documentation, I reported this as a bug.

A workaround is to use small rectangles hidden at the edges of shapes to provide snapping end points.

Figma support wrote me back and said it’s been fixed. I tested and holding ctrl to disable snapping works when you
-create a line on the canvas using line tool
-drag from a shape body to another shape to create a line
-edit a line end point

NOTE that it does not currently work when you create a line from one of the ‘node points’ that appears when you hover a shape.

holding ctrl doesn’t disable snapping for me. Also hindered by this limitation in wireframes.
