This site includes a wonderful little tool called #grid [hash grid] ⁓ created originally by the lovely AnalogCoop, now maintained by Jon Gibbins ~ a huge thank you for sharing it. It shows the grid underneath the design, activated by a keystroke. Try it and see ;)

Hold G to see the grid. To keep the grid on the page, hold G and press H, then let go of both. Press G again to switch it off.

Single-key shortcuts can get in the way of voice control and some assistive technology ~ hence the grid also has a button, and the G shortcut can be switched off (◠‿◠)
