     44* `Middle mouse click` to cycle objects with small pop-up (see also some information about middle click on [wikitr:/Shortcuts#MacOS Mac OS].
    4545* `Left mouse click` while holding the `Alt` (or `AltGr`) key to cycle through nearby objects **without showing a pop-up window**.
    4646
     
    5252* selecting between multiple nodes if they appear as single node (multiple dots appear as one)
    5353
    54 Action: it will show a pop-up window of nearby objects and to cycle through them. To make this type of selection the default, and thus not require the use of the **`Alt`** key, change the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference] `selectaction.cycles.multiple.matches` to true. Holding `Ctrl` afterwards to directly select an object.

    9595* `Alt` can be combined with `Shift`
    96 * `Alt` can't be combined with `Ctrl` - as this is used for the **scale** command described [#Scale below]
    97 * `Ctrl` combined with `Shift` makes no sense

    114 ====== Ctrl modifier ======

    115115Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/select_remove)]]
    116116
    117 Activation steps: `Ctrl`
     117Activation steps: `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac)
    118118
    119119Actions: remove all [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] in current rectangle from selection (if there were any); nothing is added to the current selection.
     
    127127[[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
    128128
     129=== Aligned move of selection ===
     130If 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
     132After 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
    129134=== Drag a Midpoint creates New Node ===
    130135Activation 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.
     
    136141Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/modifier/joinnode)]]
    137142
    138 Activation steps: hold down `Ctrl` and drag one selected node onto an unselected one
     143Activation steps: hold down `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) and drag one selected node onto an unselected one
    139144
    140145Action: merge selected nodes with another; internally it will simply use [wikitr:/Help/Action/MergeNodes Merge Nodes] - please read more details there.
     
    143148Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/rotate)]]
    144149
    145 Activation steps: `Shift+Ctrl` + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down
     150Activation steps: `Shift` + `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down
    146151
    147152Action: rotate selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center.
     153
     154The rotation angle is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar].
    148155
    149156Rotation at defined angles is possible via the [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/ShapeTools ShapeTools Plugin].
     
    152159Cursor: [[JOSMImage(cursor/scale)]]
    153160
    154 Activation steps: `Ctrl+Alt` + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down
     161Activation steps: `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) + `Alt` + `Left mouse button` and moving mouse up and down
    155162
    156163Action:
    157164* scale selected nodes and ways around their geometrical center. Proportions will be kept.
    158165* if used only on 2 nodes, it will move them from or to their mid point (depending on mouse move)
     166
     167The scaling factor is displayed in the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar].
