With the [Adhesion of moving vertices to guide lines] function, when a vertex is dragged over a guide line, the line turns green to indicate that the vertex is attached to the guide line. This allows for precise alignment with the [Position] of the guide line setting.

Each item in the guide line menu can be assigned a shortcut.
