    1414
    1515=== Selecting single objects ===
    16 **Left-click** to select the node or way nearest to the pointer. Depending on settings, the node or way that would be selected is highlighted as a hint.
     16**Left-click** to select the node [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node.png)]] or way [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way.png)]] nearest to the pointer. The node or way that would be selected is highlighted as a hint.
    1717
    1818If multiple objects overlap or are very close to each other, there are several ways to select a specific object.
     
    2020* **Left-click** while holding the **{{{Alt}}}** (or **{{{AltGr}}}**) key to cycle through nearby objects without showing a pop-up window. To make this type of selection the default, and thus not require the use of the **{{{Alt}}}** key, change the [Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference] {{{selectaction.cycles.multiple.matches}}} to true.
    2121
    22 Hold the **{{{Shift}}}** key while **left-clicking** to add an object to the current selection. Hold the **{{{Ctrl}}}** key while **left-clicking** to toggle the selection of the object (if the object is already selected, remove it from the selection, otherwise add it to the selection).
     22Hold the **{{{Shift}}}** key while **left-clicking** to add the node [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node_add.png)]] or way [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way_add.png)]] to the current selection. Hold the **{{{Ctrl}}}** key while **left-clicking** to toggle the selection of the object (if the object is already selected, remove it from the selection, otherwise add it to the selection).
    2323
    2424=== Selecting multiple objects ===
    2525To select all objects, press **{{{Ctrl-A}}}**.
    2626
    27 **Hold and drag the left mouse button** to draw a selection rectangle.
     27**Hold and drag the left mouse button** to draw a selection rectangle [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/selection.png)]].
    2828
    2929* **Release** the left mouse button to select all [Concepts/Object objects] within the rectangle. All nodes within the rectangle and any ways which are entirely within the rectangle will be selected.
     
    3333
    3434* **{{{Alt}}}** : in addition to the normal behavior, select all ways that have at least one node within selection rectangle.
    35 * **{{{Shift}}}** : the [Concepts/Object objects] are added to the current selection.
    36  * If **{{{Shift}}}** is not held, the current selection get replaced.
    37 * **{{{Ctrl}}}** : remove all [Concepts/Object objects] under the current rectangle from the active selection (if there were any). Nothing is added to the current selection.
     35* **{{{Shift}}}** [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_add.png)]]: the [Concepts/Object objects] are added to the current selection.
     36* **{{{Ctrl}}}** [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_remove.png)]]: remove all [Concepts/Object objects] under the current rectangle from the active selection (if there were any). Nothing is added to the current selection.
    3837
    3938**{{{Alt}}}** can be combined with **{{{Shift}}}**, but cannot be combined with **{{{Ctrl}}}**, as this is used for the ***Scale*** command.
     
    4241To unselect everything you can either click on an empty area of the screen, or press **{{{U}}}** or **{{{Esc}}}** on the keyboard.
    4342
    44 If you have more than one [Concepts/Object object] selected, and just want to deselect one particular [Concepts/Object object], them click it with the 'Select tool' while holding down **{{{Ctrl}}}**.
     43If you have more than one [Concepts/Object object] selected, and just want to unselect one particular [Concepts/Object object], them click it with the 'Select tool' while holding down **{{{Ctrl}}}** [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node_remove.png)]] [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way_remove.png)]].
    4544
    4645=== Selecting particular ways ===
     
    5655
    5756=== Merge nodes ===
     57[[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/joinnode.png)]]
     58
    5859You can merge a selected [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/node.png)]] [Concepts/Object#Nodes node] with another one by holding down the **{{{Ctrl}}}** and dragging the selected node onto the other one.
    5960
    6061== Rotate ==
     62[[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/rotate.png)]]
    6163You can rotate selected [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png)]] [Concepts/Object#Ways ways] while the cursor is near one of them by holding down the **{{{Shift+Ctrl}}}** + left mouse button and moving the cursor.
    6264
    6365== Scale ==
     66[[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/scale.png)]]
    6467You can scale selected [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png)]] [Concepts/Object#Ways ways] while the cursor is near one of them by holding down the **{{{Ctrl+Alt}}}** + left mouse button and moving the cursor.
    6568
     69== Cursors ==
     70The cursor changes to indicate what action will occur:
     71* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node.png)]]: a node will be selected
     72* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node_add.png)]]: a node will be added to the current selection
     73* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_node_remove.png)]]: a node will be removed from the current selection
     74* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way.png)]]: a way will be selected
     75* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way_add.png)]]: a way will be added to the current selection
     76* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_way_remove.png)]]: a way will be removed from the current selection
     77* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/selection.png)]]: objects within the rectangle will be selected
     78* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_add.png)]]: objects within the rectangle will added to the current selection
     79* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/select_remove.png)]]: objects within the rectangle will removed from the current selection
     80* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/joinnode.png)]]: the selected node will be merged with the node near the pointer
     81* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/rotate.png)]]: rotate the selected objects
     82* [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/scale.png)]]: scale the selected objects
     83
    6684== Advanced details ==
    67 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 {{{edit.initial-move-threshold}}} and {{{edit.initial-move-delay}}}.
