| | 87 | |
| | 88 | === Aligned move of selection === |
| | 89 | 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. |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | 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. |
| 155 | | == Advanced details == |
| 156 | | 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 [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] {{{edit.initial-move-threshold}}} (pixels) and {{{edit.initial-move-delay}}} (milliseconds). |
