Selection and Lasso tools: Modifier to just select ways

Description

Most of the times when I'm using the selection tool or the lasso tool, I'm interested in just selecting WAYS to modify some of their tags at once. Rarely I'm intersted in selecting WAYS + NODES, which is the default using these tools. So right now I have to start filter dialog to filter for ways only afterwards.

It would be a welcome shortcut if we could select ways-only by pressing some modifier key(s) while selecting an area with the mouse.

A workaround:

  • Create a search for "way" with search in selection and option to create a toolbar entry
  • Then assign the toolbar entry a keyboard shortcuts (right click)
  • Now after selecting data click the button or press the shortcut. It strips away nodes or relations.

Replying to stoecker:

The utilsplugin2 already provides Unselect Nodes (Shift+U) so the search is not needed in case of the two core selection modes as they do not add relations to the selection.

Thanks, this is a good workaround.
I also noticed that there's already a similar command: Selection > Unselect Nodes (Key Shortcut: SHIFT+U). Maybe just if Utilsplugin2 is installed.
