use doubleclick for extended selection

[anonymous]

While in select mode, a doubleclick should select the way and its nodes.

Hmm, I can't think of any use case that requires the user to both select way and nodes. Moving or deleting a way will do so for all its nodes too (exception: delete won't delete nodes shared by other ways). Tagging also doesn't or even shouldn't be done for all nodes/ways.

I oppose adding this because accidentally double clicks that may lead to data loss if not noticed. Maybe I am blind, can you provide use cases please?

There's another disadvantage: If double clicking is activated, the system has to wait if the user clicks once or twice. There will be a short delay for every selection.

So I also oppose this.

That wouldn't be an issue. The "click" event gets called for /every/ click, it just increases the "click count" variable to 2 on the second click, but it doesn't add an delay to check if there's been a click or doubleclick.

I would use this feature for some difficult editings. To select the nodes of a way only with a few clicks, you could select the way and its nodes and then deselect the way. To make things not too complicated, this feature may be disabled as standard.

Use "Ctrl" to add more objects to selection.

Please also have a look at the utilsPlugin2 which offers some more actions for (de)selection.
