Suggestion: selecting all untagged

[michel.coene@…]

Often I will e.g. draw 5 alleys, or multiple buildings. The fastest way now is to draw them all, then shift-select them before assigning tags. It would make my life a lot easier if there was a key-combo that would select all the untagged ways one has drawn.

You can use the search dialog for that.

Ctrl-F, "untagged", Enter (the first time you want to select all untagged objects).

Then for next calls, Ctrl-F, Enter (as the previous search expression remains selected).

Replying to Don-vip:

You can use the search dialog for that.

Ctrl-F, "untagged", Enter (the first time you want to select all untagged objects).

To be precise use following search string for only new, untagged ways:
type:way untagged id:0

We could add untagged to the state examples.

While selecting by "Ctrl-F, "untagged", Enter (the first time you want to select all untagged objects)."
All nodes are also selected.
to unselect nodes
Goto selection menu and Unselect nodes Shift+u

As said already "type:way untagged" will select all untagged ways. You can also create a toolbar button for individual searches BTW.
