All other selection modes and actions are identical. 8 11 9 == Selection mode == #Selecttool 12 == Select mode == #Selecttool 13 This mode is to change the selection of [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] on the map. 10 14 11 This mode enables the user to make selections of different [Concepts/Object objects]. 12 13 The selected objects are drawn in a different style (red colour by default); depending on [Help/Preferences/Display display preferences] and the [Help/Dialog/MapPaint active styles]. 15 The selected objects are drawn in a different style (red color by default); depending on [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Display preferences] and the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/MapPaint active styles]. They are listed in the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList selection list]. 14 16 15 17 The cursor icon will also change depending on the selection mode. 16 18 17 === Select the single object === 18 ==== Single left mouse click is used to select an object ==== 19 === Select the single object === #Selectsingle 20 The cursor changes depending on the object. In the table below, the icon on the top is the default, the icon(s) in the middle for a [[JOSMImage(data/node)]] node and the icon(s) on the bottom for a [[JOSMImage(data/way)]] way. 21 ||= **Name** =||= **Activation steps** =||= **Cursor** =||= **Description** =|| 22 || **Select** || **`Left mouse click`** || [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/selection)]] \\ [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/select_node)]] \\ [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/select_way)]] || Select a node or way under mouse cursor.

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. 100 92 101 Actions: the [Concepts/Object objects] are added to the current selection 102 103 ====== Ctrl modifier ====== 104 105 Cursor: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_remove.png,24,nolink)]] 106 107 Activation steps: 108 109 Actions: remove all [Concepts/Object objects] in current rectangle from selected objects (if there were any); nothing is added to the current selection. 110 111 == Move == 112 113 You can move selected [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/node.png)]] [Concepts/Object#Nodes nodes] and [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png)]] [Concepts/Object#Ways ways] in the main window, by moving the mouse cursor close to one of the selected objects and then left clicking while dragging the mouse. 114 * If the mouse cursor is **near a node** when performing the move action, then **just this node** is moved. 115 * If you move a node very close to another node and hold **{{{Ctrl}}}** when releasing the left mouse button the moved **node** will be merged with the other **node**. 116 * If the mouse cursor is **near a way** when performing the move action, then **this way**, together with its associated **nodes**, is moved. 117 118 Moving objects is also possible with **{{{shift + arrow keys}}}**. 119 120 == Merge nodes == 121 122 Cursor: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/joinnode.png,24,nolink)]] 123 124 Activation steps: hold down {{{Ctrl}}} and drag one selected node onto the unselected one 125 126 Action: merge selected nodes with another; internally it will simply use [Help/Action/MergeNodes Merge tool] - please read more details here. 127 128 == Click and drag on segment midpoint will create a new node == 129 130 Cursor: fixme 131 93 === Drag a Midpoint creates New Node === 132 94 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. 133 95 134 96 Action: will insert a new node at the location of the cross 135 97 136 On illustration below shown twice: you cannot create node ''simply by clicking a midpoint'' (second segment from the left in this case) as it will select whole way (red glow); instead, you should ''click and drag'' midpoint. 98 == Merge nodes == #Mergenodes 99 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/joinnode)]] 137 100 138 [[Image(ex-move-segment-node-1.gif,nolink)]] 101 Activation steps: hold down `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) and drag one selected node onto an unselected one 139 102 140 == Rotate == 103 Action: merge selected nodes with another; internally it will simply use [wikitr:/Help/Action/MergeNodes Merge Nodes] - please read more details there. 141 104 142 Cursor: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/rotate.png,24,nolink)]] 105 == Rotate == #Rotate 106 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/rotate)]] 143 107 144 Activation steps: {{{Shift+Ctrl}}} + {{{Left mouse button}}}and moving mouse up and down108 Activation steps: `Shift + Ctrl + left mouse button` (Windows/Linux) or `Shift + Cmd + left mouse button` (Mac) and moving mouse up and down 145 109 146 Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical cent re.110 Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. 147 111 148 == Scale == 112 The rotation angle is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]. 149 113 150 Cursor: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/scale.png,24,nolink)]] 114 Rotation at defined angles is possible via the [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/ShapeTools ShapeTools Plugin]. 151 115 152 Activation steps: {{{Ctrl+Alt}}} + {{{Left mouse button}}} and moving mouse up and down 116 == Scale == #Scale 117 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/scale)]] 153 118 154 Acti on:119 Activation steps: `Ctrl + Alt + left mouse button` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd + Alt + left mouse button` (Mac) and moving mouse up and down 155 120 156 * scale selected nodes and ways around their geometrical centre. Proportions will be kept. 121 Action: 122 * scale selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. Proportions will be kept. 157 123 * if used only on 2 nodes, it will move them from or to their mid point (depending on mouse move) 158 124 159 == Advanced details == 160 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. 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). 125 The scaling factor is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]. 126 127 == Advanced details ==#Advanceddetails 128 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. 129 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. 130 These two settings can be changed with the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] `edit.initial-move-threshold` (pixels) and `edit.initial-move-delay` (milliseconds). 161 131 162 132 == See also == 163 * [wiki:/Help#Selection "Selection" section at main page] - some popular selection tools 164 * [wiki:Help/Action/UnselectAll Unselect all] {{{Escape}}} 165 * [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/improvewayaccuracy.png,16,link=)]] [wiki:Help/Action/ImproveWayAccuracy Improve Way Accuracy] - over time many mappers switch to this tools instead of manually moving each node 166 * [wiki:Help/Plugin/UtilsPlugin2 UtilsPlugin2] contains additional selection functionality 133 * [wikitr:/Shortcuts#Altkey] - if `Alt` doesn't work 134 * [wikitr:/Help/Plugin/UtilsPlugin2 UtilsPlugin2] contains additional selection functionality 167 135 168 136 ---- 169 Back to [ EditToolbar Edit Toolbar][[BR]]170 Back to [wiki:/Help Main Help] 137 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode Mode menu] \\ 138 Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
