That is exactly the problem. We need to adjust/update all the time cause JOSM is developing quite fast but this needs more people. As the wiki is anonymously editable with even a button to do so from "help browser" it is not a big task to add info and belief me we do not bite but would be happy about any useful edit. > For example, I downloaded the latest JOSM update the other day.

It should on this page: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Preferences/Shortcuts > So, how does one use the new keyboard shortcuts? I thought it is explained in the start up message. Anyway, either use right click menu in the top panel or navigate to the keyboard icon in the preferences. > And, who does the maintenance of the Wiki?

There is no maintainer but a handful of user (mostly one for each language). ---- We use the JOSM wiki within JOSM trac and of course for the internal "help browser", but I never know if it is worth to spend much time with updating and formating as I do not get any feedbacks. colliar
