[[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/selectionlist.png)]] ''keyboard shortcut'': '''{{{Alt+C}}}'''

'''This list shows the currently selected objects (nodes, ways, closed ways and relations).'''

[[Image(selection_dialog.png)]]

In the list:
* [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/node.png)]]'''Nodes''' are shown with their names (likewise their OSM-ID) and their position in brackets.
* [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png)]] '''Ways''' and [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/closedway.png)]] '''closed ways''' are shown with their names and if no name-tags exist with their main tag (eg highway, landuse, railway ...). If JOSM is not able to interpreted any tag the OSM-IDs are shown. The numbers of nodes the ways consist of are always shown in brackets.
* [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/relation.png)]] Relations are shown with their type and in brackets the name and the number of members.

[[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] '''Select''' selects the objects currently selected in the selection list.[[BR]]
'''Note:''' A very powerful tool is the selection history. Click on the small triangle [[Image(source:/trunk/images/svpDown.png)]] on the [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png,15)]] '''Select''' button. There you can restore previous selections from a drop down list.[[BR]]

[[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] '''Search''' is an often unseen feature: it allows a very sophisticated search. See [wiki:/Help/Action/Search search]. Like ''Select'' the small triangle [[Image(source:/trunk/images/svpDown.png)]] within the [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png,15)]] '''Search''' button  also offers a drop down search list of previous search.
