Snap drawings to grid while moving them

If I make a drawing using the roll20 drawing tools and snap to grid, sometimes I want to move it to a different space. However, moving drawings around is always pixel-by-pixel, so it inevitably ends up slightly off the grid when I put it back down. I'd like some kind of option to be able to move drawings while keeping them snapped to grid. This is a little tricky because drawings don't need to adhere to the grid, but something as simple as "the top-left corner of the drawing's selection rectangle snaps to a grid vertex" would be lovely. It could be a hotkey (shift+drag?), or maybe a right-click advanced option.

If you select it and move it using the arrow keys you can move it around by unit rather than pixel. Alt+arrow keys will give pixel by pixel movement options.

You're welcome, it's often the little things that get overlooked :) I still think your suggestion has merit however, it would be great if 'drawn' things could be set to 'is drawing'=False so that normal token behaviour could apply.
