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. 119 133 120 134 === Drag a Midpoint creates New Node === 121 122 135 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. 123 136 124 137 Action: will insert a new node at the location of the cross 125 138 139 126 140 == Merge nodes == #Mergenodes 141 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/joinnode)]] 127 142 128 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/joinnode,middle)]] 129 130 Activation steps: hold down {{{Ctrl}}} and drag one selected node onto an unselected one 143 Activation steps: hold down `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) and drag one selected node onto an unselected one 131 144 132 145 Action: merge selected nodes with another; internally it will simply use [wikitr:/Help/Action/MergeNodes Merge Nodes] - please read more details there. 133 146 134 147 == Rotate == #Rotate 148 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/rotate)]] 135 149 136 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/rotate,middle)]] 150 Activation steps: `Shift` + `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down 137 151 138 Acti vation steps: {{{Shift+Ctrl}}} + {{{Left mouse button}}} and moving mouse up and down152 Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. 139 153 140 Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical centre.154 The rotation angle is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]. 141 155 142 156 Rotation at defined angles is possible via the [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/ShapeTools ShapeTools Plugin]. 143 157 144 158 == Scale == #Scale 159 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/scale)]] 145 160 146 Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/scale,middle)]] 161 Activation steps: `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Alt` + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down 147 162 148 Activation steps: {{{Ctrl+Alt}}} + {{{Left mouse button}}} and moving mouse up and down 149 150 Action: 151 152 * scale selected nodes and ways around their geometrical centre.

Proportions will be kept. 153 165 * if used only on 2 nodes, it will move them from or to their mid point (depending on mouse move) 154 166 155 == 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). 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.
