5694	[patch] two more select modes	anonymous	team	"For myself I've implemented two enhancements in JOSM which I like to share if they look reasonable to you.
First ist selecting connected objects via double click. I've done this mainly for buildings to be able to quickly select a whole block and move/turn it. The problem is the question how far you wanna take the term connected. Applied to streets that can go as far as selecting all ways in your layer. Because of this I added a maximum depth about whose default one might argue (hard coded to 10).

Second it selecting a closed way by pressing Alt and clicking somewhere into the area (or Alt+Shift for adding it to the selection). This often makes it a lot easier selecting a bunch of single buildings.
Maybe my implementation is naive because I don't know much about geometric calculations. But thought I was worried about efficiency I never experienced problems on my not fast machine in the last six months."	enhancement	new	normal		Core
