[UI Feature] Keyboard shortcut (for Draft & Sketcher) while executing a line operation that increases (granularity) of the snap active area such that it is easy to match points #10798

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

This is a re-write of #5712

In certain situations, from a UI/IX perspective there may be merit to have a keyboard shortcut feature that make mouse selection granularity more sensitive to snapping and matching points in proximity to the pointer. There is already the ability to alter the pointer pick radius manually, of course. But this feature request is a way to on-the-fly toggle sensitivity. This can be useful for Sketcher and Draft workbenches.

This also may be considered an Accessibility feature for users with mobility or visual impairments.
