toggle node snap

[steuben]

I don't think I'm missing it. But, is there a key that toggle node snap on/off in the VAB/SPH? .. or a mod?

AFAIK, there is just a key to disable surface attachment (temporary, while holding down 'alt').

Editor Extensions Redux can enforce surface attachment for every part and IIRC, node snapping is disabled while doing so...it's not exactly what you are asking for but maybe it helps you anyway

Mr. Cheesecake basically said it, but I want to emphasize: holding down your Mod key (Left Alt on windows) activates "force node attachment".

I knew about the left-alt. But, it's like F with respect to SAS. I'm looking for something like T.

I'm working with bigger sub-assemblies on higher value symmetries,, eg. 100 parts on 6 fold. So when a section tries to surface mount KSP coughs, pauses, and says go away for a bit while I work on this. Since I just attaching them to nodes rather than surface, for most of the build, it would make things simpler if I didn't have to hold down the alt key.
