Usability enhancement for JOSM: Feature request: keep property input box open after input of value pair for input of new value pair

JOSM is my preferred editor. Though there might be some usability improvements which could potentially improve my workflow.

Feature request: keep property input box open after input of value pair for input of new value pair

Description: nowadays many of the objects to edit have multiple properties (key:value). When I edit the key value pair and press ENTER, I have to open another property input window (ALT+B) or the button in JOSM. This is tedious. I would like to be presented two new input fields for key and value automatically after confirming the previous input fields. This is especially desirable e.g. when editing housenumbers. These key/value pairs can have up to 5 or 6 different value pairs (city, country, street, interpolation, housenumber, postcode). I could save serious amounts of time with this feature improvement. Those value pairs have to be entered usually twice per street, for even and odd housenumber sides.

I used version 1566 of JOSM.
