 This tool behaves differently depending on how you use it.

  * If you click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node independent of any existing way.

  * If you select an end node of a way and then click on a blank area of the screen you add a new node to the end of the existing way.
 
- * If no node is previously selected and  you click between two nodes in an existing way the new node is added on the existing way, between two existing nodes.

  * If a node is previously selected and  you click between two nodes in an existing way the new node is added on the existing way, between two existing nodes, and a way is drawn between the previously selected node and the new node.

  * If you click near an existing node it draws a "segment" between what was previously selected and the existing node, and this allows you to re-use existing nodes to make a new way / area (so that certain nodes and "segments" can be reused in more than one way/ area).
 
+=== Shift modifier ===
+
+If you hold down the 'shift' hey whilst using this tool it disables the "auto-connect" feature.  So segments will not be drawn between new nodes.
+
+=== Ctrl modifier ===
+
+
+If you hold down the 'Ctrl' hey whilst using this tool it disables the snapping to an existing way, allowing you to draw nodes close to, but not part of an existing way.
