Help/Action/FastDrawingMode

@@ +1 @@
+== Fast Draw - creating lines with mouse or pen ==
+
+Main area of usage - tracing forests, rivers, lakes, twisted roads etc. without too much clicking.
+It is a specialized alternative to standard drawing tool (A).
+
+Plugin is in testing phase, you can add ticket with bug or enhancement at http://josm.openstreetmap.de/newticket.
+
+'''Please use simplification and validator! Do not upload huge and self-intersecting lines.'''
+
+'''Usage:'''
+
+1) Enter the drawing mode  ('''T''' or Pen toolbar icon)
+
+2) Draw a line by mouse
+
+3) Press '''enter'''. Line is simplified to reduce number of nodes. Tune simplification by pressing '''Up/Down''' buttons repeatedly.
+
+4) Press '''enter''' again. Line (Way) is created and selected.
+
+'''Drawing:'''
+1) Use left mouse button clicks or drags to create draft contour.
+
+2) '''Ctrl-Click''' adds '''fixed point''' that will  not be affected by simplification. Use it for corners etc.
+
+3) When dragging over existing nodes, they are included in new line automatically.
+
+4) Clicking on the first point makes the line closed (no more adding points).
+
+'''Editing in drawing mode:'''
+
+1) '''Backspace''' - delete last added node, then previous etc.
+
+2) '''Ctrl-Shift-Click''' - clears the scetch and start new one.
+
+3) '''Ctrl-Click''' on fixed node makes it free, '''Ctrl-Click''' on free node makes it fixed (see marks).
+
+4) '''Shift-Click''' - delete selected node (marked by red X) or selected '''fragment'''. Fragment is a line between two fixed nodes.
+
+5) After deletion of the fragment you can '''redraw''' it by mouse from the beginning to the end (active segment marked orange). 
+
+6) To stop editing fragment Shift-Click on free area or press '''Escape'''.
