A question may be added for the length of a perpendicular line, or to the nearest line of another object.

I often face the need of drawing a new way in certain angle from way node of another way. Examples are split ways, intersections and new ways continuing drawing.
So far, I use the draw mode with fixed angles but I always have to start drawing one node in advance on the old way to have this option available. Later on, I have to remove the first way node of the new way, again.
Maybe the drawing mode with fixed angles could be enhanced to work with a single node. The angle could be calculated from the existing way.
How should JOSM know where the line should end? Please describe more detailed how this should work.
