Description
I often find myself tracing a new way and wanting to continue it along all of or a subset of another way. This is very common for e.g. landuse ways.
I've attached a screenshot showing an editing session where this feature would be very useful.
Here's what the UI could be like:
- When I'm tracing a way I could press some key, e.g. "c" for continue
- That would then enable continue-mode.
- Then I could shift-click on another node in the way I want to continue along
- JOSM would then extend my selected way automatically up to the node I shift-clicked on.

It is already implemented, see #4190.
We couldn't agree on the user interface. Shortcut only isn't exactly a model for usability. On the other hand what the user doesn't know won't hurt him.
Btw. C is "combine" so F for "follow" might be better.

Nice. I'll check that feature out.



An example of an editing session where continuing a way would be useful.
