Where is the limit of making harder commands for _intentional_ actions just to prevent _unintentional_ actions ? It is very hard to find the right balance between newcomers and experimented users. I have no definitive answer on that. But for instance, I find sometimes a way and some of its nodes with the same tag (e.g. oneway=true). This was clearly _unintentional_ and we could also want JOSM to prevent adding tags on objects when nodes and ways are selected... except if you press Ctrl-alt-shift or whatever. But I could also imagine a preference flag making the commands much less flexible as it is today, "a la Potlatch" ;-) Pieren _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
