[[JOSMImage(mapmode/rope,middle,link=,48,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:'' **`S+S` ([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode] only)** (press `S` again to toggle between [[JOSMImage(mapmode/move/move)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select Select mode] and this Lasso mode) — is one of the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode#Workingmode working modes] 

**Lasso selection mode selects objects within a hand-drawn region.** \\
The only difference between Lasso mode and [[JOSMImage(mapmode/move/move)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select Select mode] is the area selection mode. [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select#Selectsingle Selecting single object] and all other actions are identical.
1. Activate the mode (press `S` to toggle between the Lasso mode and the [[JOSMImage(mapmode/move/move)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select Select mode]).
1. Hold the `Left mouse button` and draw a loop around the objects. The modifier keys are the same as for the [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select#Modifiers rectangular selection mode].
 * Hold the `Right mouse button` to move your drawn loop.
 * Hold the `Right mouse button` when releasing the `Left mouse button` to cancel lasso selection.
1. The selection can then be refined with other selection tools (filters, search, regular selection tool).

== Advanced Preferences ==
Set `mappaint.select.toggle-lasso-on-repeated-S` to `false` in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference] to disable the lasso mode completely.
