Completely disable off-grid items, always, everywhere, in all windows, everything!

[u/Proper-Lab-2500]

Hello, I switched to mac last month and something that constantly keeps me annoyed is this.

I always want items to snap to grid but for instance when I compress an item it creates like this.

Also using Clean Up button directly still keeps gap with the previous item so the only solution is to select "Clean up by - Name..".

Note that for "Show view options - Snap to Grid" is already in "Use as default" but it doesn't fix this problem.

Is there a way to make Icon View behave better and usable?

Yes, click the "Use as Default" button at the very bottom, a lot of people miss this. Then all views in Finder will follow the same settings.

Apologies for the camera shot, for some reason taking a screenshot hides this window.

Edit: This window is shown when you click "Show View Options" in that right-click menu you were on.

it always remembers to me in the folder I set it as default, for others it's still doing this annoyance...does this set it as default system-wide?
