this is particularly important on devices such as tablets that are touch sensitive or use a stylus. If the pointer is moved between pressing and releasing the left mouse button, the object will only be moved if the pointer moved more than 5 pixels or was held down for more than 0.2 seconds, otherwise the object will simply be selected. These two settings can be changed with the [Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] {{{edit.initial-move-threshold}}} (pixels) and {{{edit.initial-move-delay}}} (milliseconds). 99 {{{#!comment 100 ====== Alt modifier ====== 101 Cursor: none 102 103 Activation steps: `Alt` 104 105 Actions: in addition to the normal behavior, select all ways that have at least one node within selection rectangle 106 107 ====== Shift modifier ====== 108 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/select_add)]] 109 110 Activation steps: `Shift` 111 112 Actions: the [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] are added to the current selection 113 114 ====== Ctrl/Cmd modifier ====== 115 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/select_remove)]] 116 117 Activation steps: `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) 118 119 Actions: remove all [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] in current rectangle from selection (if there were any); nothing is added to the current selection. 120 }}} 121 122 == Move == #Move 123 You can move the whole selection by moving the pointer close to a selected object, click and drag the pointer. 124 125 Moving is also possible with **`Shift + Arrow keys`**. 126 127 [[JOSMImage(mapmode/improvewayaccuracy)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/ImproveWayAccuracy Improve Way Accuracy] - over time many mappers switch to this tools instead of manually selecting-and-moving each node 128 129 === Aligned move of selection === 130 If the last-added way in the selection consists of exactly two nodes, then the whole move can be aligned to its direction by pressing and holding `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) while dragging. 131 132 After mousebutton-down you can toggle `Ctrl` (resp. `Cmd`) arbitrarily often to switch between free and aligned move. The constrain offers four directions defined by the last-selected way (move within its direction, against it, and 90° rotations of these; vaguely comparable to the cardinal directions of a compass). To end an aligned move, it is recommended to release the mouse button before keyboard modifier key. 133 134 === Drag a Midpoint creates New Node === 135 Activation steps: ''clicking and dragging'' a yellow cross in the middle of a segment; at any point in time, there N mid points to drag where N is number of segments. 136 137 Action: will insert a new node at the location of the cross 138 139 140 == Merge nodes == #Mergenodes 141 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/joinnode)]] 142 143 Activation steps: hold down `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) and drag one selected node onto an unselected one 144 145 Action: merge selected nodes with another; internally it will simply use [wikitr:/Help/Action/MergeNodes Merge Nodes] - please read more details there. 146 147 == Rotate == #Rotate 148 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/rotate)]] 149 150 Activation steps: `Shift` + `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down 151 152 Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. 153 154 The rotation angle is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]. 155 156 Rotation at defined angles is possible via the [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/ShapeTools ShapeTools Plugin]. 157 158 == Scale == #Scale 159 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/scale)]] 160 161 Activation steps: `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Alt` + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down 162 163 Action: 164 * scale selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. Proportions will be kept. 165 * if used only on 2 nodes, it will move them from or to their mid point (depending on mouse move) 166 167 The scaling factor is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]. 168 169 == Advanced details ==#Advanceddetails 170 Whether a mouse action is considered a selection or a move depends on some settings, to prevent objects from being moved when a simple selection was intended; this is particularly important on devices such as tablets that are touch sensitive or use a stylus.
