Split mode

Keyboard shortcut: T — is one of the working modes

Split a way by clicking.
The mode helps with splitting ways, similar to the Split Way action.

When this mode is selected, clicking on a way will split it at the clicked location. When an existing way node is clicked, the way will be split at this node, otherwise a new node will be created.

If more than one way is found as a possible target, a dialog with a list of ways to choose from is presented. When one of the possible target ways is currently selected, the selected way will automatically be chosen.

Ways that are disabled by a filter are ignored and will not be split.

Only non-closed ways can currently be split with this mode, closed ways are not yet supported.
