In JOSM, the building plugin is quite useful to trace rectangular buildings, but does not help to trace huts. Plus huts are small and it is uneasy to copy / paste them repeatitively for all a village. If we create a hut and copy / paste, it is uneasy to move this object to place it at the right position We cannot zoom too much if we want to clearly see the huts,
Below, I describe a technic that should simplify doing this. 1. A simple shortcut to paste an object : Edit Menu / Preferences / Keyboard, Modification - Paste Action : Replace ctrl-V by V. It is simpler to press only one key. To copy, one hand will press V, while the mouse position the object. 2. Trace a hut : add two points. Select these two points, select the menu item Tool - create a circle. Add the tag building=hut 3. Copy the hut in the buffer : Select the hut, and press Ctrl-c to copy this object. 4. Paste the hut simply at the right position. Place the mouse cursor at the center of a hut, right click with the mouse and press V. This will paste a new hut right at this point. This way of pasting using the both the V shortcut key and the right mouse button is a lot more simple and rapid then trying to first paste, then move at the right position. Pierre
