7314	[patch] Faster relation selection with Alt+click and middle-click	joshdoe	team	"I've been working with relations quite a bit, and it could be easier to select the relation that a given way belongs to (exclusively multipolygons actually). There are a few methods I know of to select such a relation:
* Select the way, right-click on relation in property/membership dialog, then click '''Select relation'''
* Select the way, double-click on relation in '''Relation Toolbox''' (plugin reltoolbox)

Both of these require moving the mouse and clicking three times; it might not seem like much but it adds up. I propose cycling through relations in addition to ways and nodes, both via Alt+click (my preferred method) and middle-click. I believe this would entail changing [source:josm/trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/NavigatableComponent.java NavigatableComponent.getAllNearest()], or creating a modified copy (at least for middle-click, haven't found where Alt+click is handled yet). After cycling through any nearby Ways and Nodes, Relations could be next, based on whether they're parents of the nearby Ways and Nodes.

I think most people wouldn't even notice this change, and it seems like a logical method to select relations to me. Whether to restrict this just to multipolygons or to allow any relation is something I'm not sure about."	enhancement	closed	normal		Core		fixed	relation selection
