| 4 | The Help system can be reached on three ways: |
| 5 | 1. With the {{{F1}}} key anywhere.\\ |
| 6 | This requests the help topic for the screen element under the mouse pointer. |
| 7 | Several help topics can exist inside one dialog box. |
| 8 | If no topic is found, then the help request is passed towards the surrounding screen element.\\ |
| 9 | Finally this search ends at the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Map view] or at the [wikitr:/Help Main help] pages as last resorts.\\ \\ |
| 10 | 1. With the [[JOSMImage(help,18,bottom)]] lifebuoy icon.\\ |
| 11 | The context depth of this request is the whole dialog. |
| 12 | So some finer grained help topics on tabs in dialogues may be left unseen. |
| 13 | Requesting help with the {{{F1}}} key is therefore the better way.\\ \\ |
| 14 | 1. With the Help menu.\\ |
| 15 | This always invokes the Main help page. |
