No, for one node those two sequences do exactly the same. If you have placed two nodes, the last sequence adds a segment between the last node and the previous node. It still is not what I want. > But why would you do that? SHIFT+CLICK usually means to press *and > release* the mouse button. Why hold the mouse button down for long > enough to deliberately release the shift key? Is it really that difficult? I want a mode in which I click and a node appears. Only a node and no trail starting at this node. Or let me put it this way: you want to add a node for an amenity. How would you do that? The sequence now is: A - click - S A to select 'draw nodes' (also possible with N) click to add a node S to deselect the node because there is a line starting at this node. The same goes for adding a node to an existing way. You always have to deselect the node because otherwise with your next click you have a segment. I do not want to press the S. Come on, it can't be that difficult to understand. Maarten _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
