| | 11 | The effect of a mouse click in the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Map View] is determined by the Working mode. |
| | 12 | ''Therefore JOSM is in a specific Working mode at all times.'' |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Usually a Working mode is entered with a keystroke. |
| | 15 | Additionally the buttons visible in the upper half of the [wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar#Workingmodes Edit toolbar] allow entering a Working mode. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Individual mouse pointer icons indicate which Working mode is active. |
| | 18 | Further information for the next mouse click is also shown at the right hand side of the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status bar]. |
