Description

This covers a lot of general improvements needed for the layer and point snapping systems. Ask on Discord for parts to begin with if you're interested in working towards this. It could also be a GSoC project in its own right.

Research direction
This issue is a meta issue for snapping improvements. To get started, join the project's Discord to discuss specific sub tasks. Review the existing snapping implementation in the codebase, likely under a 'snapping' or 'layers' module. Investigate current behavior and identify common pain points from user feedback or comments. Look for any linked PRs or issues that break down the work.
