Disable autosnap of lines and arrows to images

I am using Miro in an editing format where it would be helpful to be able to draw on top of images with lines and arrows and NOT have the arrows DEMAND to snap to the edge of the image. Yes - I can cut and paste and work around it, but it would be nice to be able to universally disable this feature on a board. 

Additionally, it would be REALLY helpful if I could ghost and mirror images.

    ​@RStogsdill If it helps, try holding down the Ctrl/Cmd button while dragging arrows - that should disable auto snapping. I can't say if that works with the pen tool as well (I can't test it at the moment).

    ​@Robert Johnson Except then the lines aren’t straight

      Holding Shift will snap lines straight at 45° angles, so maybe Ctrl/Cmd + Shift while dragging arrows might be an improvement.
