Temporarily disable Snap to Grid while resizing

Hi, I would like to leave "snap to grid" on as a general setting, as I use it most of the time, but once in a while I need to resize objects more exactly than a grid allows.  I *think* I used to be able to do that by clicking ALT while I resized the object, but if that worked before, it doesn't now. 

Any idea how to resize an object without snapping to grid, and without going to settings, disabling it, resizing, then re-enabling?

Thanks!

Hi Doug,

How about use the command in the Quick Access Toobar:

Disabling just 'Snap to Grid' wasn't enough for me. Instead, use 'Snap & Glue...'. It will open a dialog. Then, uncheck either 'Snap' or 'Glue' and then move your element. This actually disables multiple options (mine had 5 of 10 snap options selected, and 2 of 5 glue options), you can see them in the dialog.

It's still not as good as an on-demand toggle like Doug described though.
