I'm not asking for snap-to-grid, or multiple grids, or for any tools to be aware of the grid. If a plugin were capable of creating an overlay grid, I'd be happy with that (or would code one myself), but they can only generate grids in image layers. These are not deal-breaker issues for me, but they add up over time. And sometimes I end up making an action on the wrong layer and have to undo, switch, repeat. Furthermore, a grid layer obscures or distorts the pixels below it. It also needs updating if the canvas gets resized or shifted. I have multiple grid plugins that I use for this (each has their own pros and cons), but despite being familiar with the necessary key shortcuts, it's still a lot of presses just to create a grid. My current workaround, which has been suggested in a few other topics requesting features like this (though it hasn't reached the Popular Feature Requests thread), is to create a translucent grid on a higher layer. Possibly at larger grid sizes, the lines could also be a bit more bold so they don't blend into the image. Sometimes I also need different sizes, like 8x16, so a custom width x height (or at least a customizable square size) would be ideal. I do a lot of pixel art for tile-based games, and would be significantly aided by 8x8, 16x16, or 32x32 grids. The current one is hard-coded as a 1x1 grid.
However, one of the few things I miss from it is a custom pixel grid. Hello! I've used for a long time, and there's a lot I appreciate about it: it's the right balance for me of features and lightness, it has extensive plugins, and it gets steady updates.
