System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 64 Bits
Graphics card: GTX 1080 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.91.0 bee5921e82

Short description of error
When I enable snapping in the shader editor it gets enabled in the 3d viewport, this is somehow confusing.
Shouldn't each editor control it's own snapping option?
{F9281156 size = full}
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open shader Editor.
Enable Snapping option or Shift+tab.
In the 3d Viewport you'll see the snapping option also enabled.

Thank you for your report. The use_snap is part of the bpy.types.ToolSettings. These settings apply to the entire scene, e.g for the current scene the use_snap property can be accessed through bpy.context.scene.tool_settings. This is not a bug, but a design choice.

Thank you for your report. The [use_snap ](https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.types.ToolSettings.html#bpy.types.ToolSettings.use_sna) is part of the `bpy.types.ToolSettings`. These settings apply to the entire scene, e.g for the current scene the `use_snap` property can be accessed through `bpy.context.scene.tool_settings`. This is not a bug, but a design choice.

Okay then, it's going to be a feature request, because from a user point of view it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. I know that but sometimes usability issues and feature requests get mixed and this is one of them, anyway i made a request on RCS to change it.
