Or, if not node was selected, a node with a segment is created > - Shift-Click somewhere else - a new node is created and _not_ > connected to the last node (modified behavior) There is the catch. Shift-Click and a node without a segment is created. Release the shift and the segment is created. The only way to create a node without a segment is to created two nodes. Then the first is created without a segment, but as soon as you release the shift, a segment is added to the last nod you created. Try it out and you'll see! > - Click on a third spot - a new node is created and connected to the > last node (standard behavior) > > JOSM won't create a segment to connect a just created node when you > release Shift after you created that node. Yes it will! I am not going to use capitals here, but please, please, please, try it out for yourself! JOSM will create a segment connecting to the node you just created when you release shift.
