wishes for tablepc

[Luebeck]

hi !

i bought a asus netbook by a touch screen and before i post a ticket with many wishes i pre-post here for discussion.

the reasion is - the workflow by a tablepc (even when the asus is not a real tablepc) is another like a normal pc and the use of josm. the main input-tool is a pen.

in the following i list some wishes special for the tablepc-work with "normal" users did not use - so i think they only should be avaible by a toggle-flag in the settings.

wish 1
in the left tool-column the a button to create a window. for the map move a function would be need (in autocad call pan - icon: open hand or crossing arrows); add to insert the buttons to zoom in/out.

wish 1a
possibiliy to modify the tool buttons even on the left.

wish 2
when the draw-function is active and you pick point by point a way will be draw. to draw a node you had to activate the draw-function, define the node and than active the selection function. the use of hotkeys via the special letter-panel is not good.
so a button to draw only a node was very nice. in time i create a special present-dialog for use with the tablepc. there are some combo's for the different poi-types and there values. a "all-in-one"-dialog for the fast data input. additional it would be nice to have a option to call this dialog automaticlly by draw a node.

wish 3
when you draw a line or nodes then there is a snap-function to connect other elements. by using the ctrl-button you can deactive this temporary. it would be nice to have a button to deactive this snap-function by a button on the left.

wish 4
when you draw a way and you want to spit the way in the process of drawing you can do this normaly by the alt-button. it would be nice to have a special button to immulate the alt-button for one click.

wish 5
auto-size of large dialogs to the max. window size - ex. settings are very large.

wish 6
a button to move a selected element because there is no left mouse-button at the pen.

so .... this i my wishes in time!

what are your options about this?

regards Jan :-)

Sorry, but JOSM is not designed for touch screens. You'll have to get a real mouse if you want to use it, or use extensively keyboard shortcuts and dig into advanced preferences to disable snapping and so on.
