=== Display Settings menu ===
Most of the setting are available via [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Display Display] menu. But others will be spread across editor and not so obvious/visible ways to activate them.

=== Using filters panel to de-clutter screen ===
See [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Examples Examples] for details.

=== do not hide menu AND toolbar special case ===#donothidemenuANDtoolbarspecialcase
It is possible "Do not hide" only main menu or only toolbar using advanced keys. It is impossible via JOSM interface settings.

This demo show that "Do not hide menu AND toolbar" utilizes TWO keys, not one. But you still can set values individually in advanced settings:

=== Minimalistic look ===
'''NOTE:''' undocked panels can be displayed at second/third monitor.
'''NOTE:''' source materials (photos, videos, notes etc) can be displayed at second/third monitor.

1. set `menu.always-visible`, `sidetoolbar.always-visible`, `statusbar.always-visible`, `toolbar.always-visible` to `false`
1. set `propertiesdialog.docked`, `selectionlist.docked` to `false`
1. adjust layout, press **{{{Tab}}}**

=== Usage of style instead of tag windows ===
While some styles are displeasant to use every day, they may facilitate entrance of data more quickly. Especially if you enter all data tag after tag (tag change only 4-10 times), not all tags per each object (tag changes thousands of times).

''Object duplication'' and ''copying of tags'' used more often than tag editing.
