Allow a default setting for Measure tool Grid Snapping options

Score + 11
The Measure tool's Grid Snapping drop-down has three options: Snap to Center (persistent default) Snap to Corner No Snapping The game I play in Roll20, by RAW, does all of its measurements from the corners of the grid, so for the Measure tool's Grid Snapping setting, "Snap to Corner" is required. However, as noted, the tool defaults to "Snap to Center." If I change it for myself to "Snap to Corner" it will retain that setting until I sign out of the game. Next time I come in, it's back to "Snap to Center."  Also, as GM, I don't have any control over the setting for my players, who then (using the default) end up measuring center-to-center instead of corner-to-corner unless they, also, manually change it every time as well. THE ASK:  Allow the Grid Snapping configuration for the Measure tool to be set as a Game Setting. Alternately (less desirable to me, but still workable) have a default be configurable as a Player option, either on the Measure tool window (as in the mock-up below) or in the My Settings area somewhere.
"The game I play in Roll20" is D&D 5e, which most folk don't seem to realize actually specifies corner ranging and spell targeting. That Roll20 defaults to something different is fine (Roll20 is game-agnostic, as much as it can be), but that it's not something that can be configured as a Game Option or for individuals in the game is kind of goofy.
