Restore Ctrl Key Behavior to Temporarily Disable Snaps While Drawing

Description:
In previous versions of Bluebeam Revu, holding the Ctrl key while drawing a line (or other markups) would temporarily disable all snapping functions (Snap to Content, Snap to Markup, Snap to Grid). This was extremely useful for quickly drawing freely without needing to toggle snap settings on and off.

Since the recent update, holding Ctrl while drawing no longer works as before—it now prevents me from drawing the line at all. This change slows down workflows because I either need to manually toggle snaps off or assign custom hotkeys, which takes extra steps compared to the old one-key method.

Request:
Please restore the previous behavior where holding Ctrl while drawing temporarily disabled snaps. It was an efficient and intuitive feature that many users relied on for precision and speed.

Bullet points & Indent text

Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
