Snap Point for MIDI Events

I recently stumbled upon the option of setting up a manual snap point to an audio event. I was wondering if it would be possible to add this feature to midi events too, as I haven’t found it in Cubase so far. I am not using the newest version of Cubase (I use Pro 12), however, I did look up the WebHelp for Cubase 13 and did not find such a tool either. As my work is heavily based around MIDI and Instrument tracks which sometimes do not start at the beginning of a bar (because I want the performance to be more natural and less quantized, for example) and I don’t always want to set my snap type from “Grid” to “Grid relative”, I would very much appreciate if a “Snap Point to Cursor” feature was added to the MIDI function Tab, in addition to the possibility to set manual snap point(s) in the Key-Editor window!

I solve this by having the left end (the start) of the MIDI Part align with the first beat of a bar.
