    45This page will hopefully give you some tips on how to perform common tasks in JOSM.

    8 == Select a way sharing common nodes ==
    9 
    10 Quite often you will come across the situation where two or more ways share a common set of nodes. Using the [wiki:Help/Action/Select select] tool you seem to only be able to select one way.
    11 
    12 If you hold down the middle mouse button while the cursor is over the ways you get a pop up listing the ways.  If you hold CTRL while the middle mouse button is still held down, you can release the middle mouse button and then use the left mouse button to select one of the ways from the pop up.
    13 
    14 Alternativ you can use the AltGr Key to switch through the different lines step by step with the normal mouse button.
    15 
    16 === for Mac users ===
    17 On Mac OSX, there's no button that works as a middle button like with unix. You can use the middle button with a Mighty Mouse. Connect Mighty Mouse, Open System Preferences, click "Keyboard and Mouse" and configure the Ball button as "button 3". Then it can be used as the middle button. Note that you cannot configure other buttons as "button 3" with the Apple Driver. Maybe you can find a more useful mouse driver for this purpose.

    19 == How to extend a way ==
    20 
    21 Use the "Select" tool (S) and select the end of the existing way.
    22 Then, use the "Draw nodes" tool (A) to draw new nodes which will automatically extend the way.
    23 
    24 The revised way will contain
    25 the original way plus the new elements and if you named it or added any
    26 other attributes the extended way will have those attributes.
    27 
    28 == How to add a node to a way ==
    29 
    30 Using the "Draw nodes" tool, move the cross-hairs over the way to which you want to add a node. It will be highlighted.
    31 
    32 Click on the way at the point you would like the new node to be added. It will be added, and the tool will wait for you to add more nodes to the new way you are now creating.
    33 
    34 Hit the ESC button to stop drawing the new way. You will have now added a new node to an existing way.

    367== How to change an intersection into a roundabout == #Roundabout
    378
    38 Say, someone drew an intersection, but you know better and like to have a roundabout instead. If it's a small one, add the tag [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmini_roundabout highway=mini_roundabout] and you are done. If not, proceed...

    4011 * Draw a single line, approximately as long as the diameter of the roundabout.
    … …  
    8556 * Check whether the ways are part of some relation. If you don't care for relations, then please don't destroy them. It's nice to have neat roundabouts, but relations are actually useful :) .
