Extrude mode: allow dragginng nodes along adjacent segments

[akks]

Sorry for committing in stabilization phase, the refactoring of extrude action was unfinished (and potentially buggy) and while finishing it some new behavior was added.
Now nodes in extrude mode can be dragged along the adjacent segments (see the picture)

I leave the ticket to detect the bugs or usability issues before tested is released.

Thanks for this feature. Think it would be even more obvious if the mouse pointer would change before action to indicate the different mode similar to selection mode. Maybe simply highlighting the node will work, too.

I agree, but currently the extrude mode does not have mouse move listening. It is very good for speed and CPU usage, but no highlighting or cursor changes are possible when dragging was not started. I do not know a good way to add it without risking bugs and performance loss...

I find annoying, that now I must zoom in real close because otherwise I risk dragging nodes, when in extrude mode I mostly want to drag segments. Moving one node is not really "extruding", so could you make node-along-segment need a modifier key, please?

[akks]

If you would ask 1.5 months ago, we would easily add modifier.
But now, after 3 tested releases, people get used to the functionality, so only some configuration option or menu is possible (like with angle snapping).

Hmm, I doubt Extrude mode is that popular...

So changes are still possible (when better than previous solution).

Do we need at least an option for that?

Yeah, it seems to get popular ( were some discussion on talk-de). So better change fast.

In 6037/josm:

see #8470: extrude mode option - extrude.drag-nodes-without-ctrl

[akks]

Ctrl-only-dragging option is introduced, but disabled by default. Extruding "random" segment near the node was not restored intentionally (do we need it?) We possibly need a checkbox in preferences for this too

Let us decide, should this be enabled by default?
For me it is convenient to drag nodes without ctrl (extruding is in fact somerthing like moving one segment). Your opinion?

[anonymous]

Yes, it should. Node-dragging is really annoying, because (in my workflow at least) extrude tool is only used for extruding ways: e.g. parts of building. --Zverik

[Felis Pimeja]

+1 to --Zverik

[akks]

Let it be default then...

In 6050/josm:

fix #8470: drag nodes along segments in Extrude mode only when Ctrl pressed
use extrude.drag-nodes-without-ctrl=true if you prefer dragging without Ctrl
