With https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/7656 shortcuts can be assigned to Draft snaps. But using them during a command only works if the input boxes do not have the focus as they 'catch' the so-called in-command shortcuts (while creating a Draft_Wire in the 3D view the X input box will have the focus).

Thank you for letting me know about this. It's available in the newest Windows build so I tested it. It's a really good start but would it be possible to code it in such a way that it works also when focus is on the input boxes (so that it's not necessary to click on the background of the task panel to unfocus) ? This could improve the Draft workflow significantly.

P.S. I added this to the release notes.

You can remove the focus from the X input with Shift+Tab and then enter a shortcut. You need to keep the mouse steady while doing this though.

Good to know that. Would it be possible to change this Shift+Tab combination to a single key ? So for example one would have to press Shift (or other button like this) to unfocus plus snap button (like N for near) right after that to enable the snap.
