    172271The list of preferences is build like this:
    173272* Not all possible available keys are listed at the beginning.
    174 * Whenever JOSM internally requests the value of a particular setting, it remembers the key and the default value.
    175 * Note that a setting is not saved in the preference file, unless the value is different from the default. However JOSM will remember all keys and their default values which were previously requested.
    176 * This means, that settings related to download may not be in the list, before you did your first download. However, if you already know the key, you can still set it explicitly.
     273* Whenever JOSM internally requests a particular setting, it remembers and lists the key and the default value.
     274* A setting is only saved in the preference file if the value is different from the default.
     275* However, if you already know the key, you can still set it explicitly.
