[[TranslatedPages]] = Mode Menu = ''Shortcut key:'' **`Alt+M`** The Mode menu lists all Working modes available to JOSM and shows the current one. The Mode menu can help users to quickly enter another Working mode. == Working mode ==#Workingmode The effect of a mouse click in the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] is determined by the Working mode. Therefore JOSM has a current Working mode at '''all times'''. Usually another Working mode is entered with a keystroke. Additionally the buttons visible in the upper half of the [wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar#Workingmodes Edit toolbar] allow entering a Working mode. Most Working modes have individual icons for the mouse pointer. Further information about the next mouse click is also shown at the right hand side of the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status bar]. ||= Icon =||= Name =||= Shortcut =||= Description =|| || [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/move/move.png,nolink)]] \\ \\ [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/rope.png,nolink)]] || [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select Select mode] (rect.) \\ \\ [wikitr:/Help/Action/LassoMode Lasso mode (freely)] || {{{S}}} \\ \\ {{{S}}} {{{S}}} || Select [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] to move, rotate and scale them.\\ Press `S` again to switch between a rectangular or a freely dragged catch area. || || [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/node/autonode.png,middle,nolink)]] || [wikitr:/Help/Action/Draw Draw mode] || {{{A}}} || Draw nodes and ways.
