Being unable to turn off node creation, without node-reuse being turned off.

If I have a way

And I want to create a new t-junction at 'a', it instead snaps to the nearest node, if working at a reasonable zoom-out.

Rather than having to:
Select zoom, zoom in to area, create beginning of way, zoom out, pan to where you were before, selct creation tool, continue creating way.

Perhaps Alt-Gr would turn off node-reuse, but keep node creation?

Personally, I'd like a box which lets me select:

Metakeys	Description	AutoConnect	New way	Node Reuse	Autoinsert Node	Keep Node tags
None	Create/add	yes	no	yes	yes	no
Shift	Create/add with no connect	no	no	yes	yes	no
None	Create/add node	yes	no	yes	yes	no
Shift-Alt-Ctrl	Create new node/way copying tags	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes

A tooltip pops up if the user holds a metakey for a few seconds, listing the current settings.

Did you know you can zoom using the mouse wheel? I don't know if it's a good idea to add yet more modifiers...

Doesn't work well - for example, If I'm tagging all features on a WMS image, I can't zoom and pan back to the original place, it's a seperate operation.
Neglecting the fact that zooming is slow.
