Description whitequark 2018-06-06 19:49:44 CEST 
When I use markers, I almost always (if not always period) want the markers to be positioned as closely as possible to the edges of the logic signals. Right now this often requires zooming in, placing the marker, zooming out, navigating elsewhere, zooming in, placing the marker...

It would be great if, when moving the individual markers as well as both markers together, they would jump from edge to edge instead of being moved continuously. Same for the cursor marker from PR770.

It would be even nicer if, when some channels are selected, the markers would snap not to just *any* edge, but only to edges on selected channels.
Comment 1 Uwe Hermann 2018-06-06 19:56:39 CEST 
Agreed, though IMHO it should still be possible to place markers anywhere without snapping as well; you don't necessarily *always* want them to be on some edge.
Comment 2 whitequark 2018-06-06 20:23:13 CEST 
Sure. Usually there is a button in the UI with a magnet on it that turns it on and off.

This is actually a duplicate of #684, closing here with a full paste there for reference.
