v284 v285 35 35 36 36 === JOSM concepts === 37 * [=#hotkeys Hotkeys] or shortcuts ([wiki:Shortcuts complete reference]). **EVERY** "button" and menu item may be assigned with hot-key (including menu items provided with [wiki:Plugins plugins]; popular [wiki:Presets presets] and [wiki:Help/Action/Search#SavesearchqueryinMaintoolbar saved search queries]). Some of the default hotkeys or activation steps may be surprising. All active shortcuts will be present under [Help/Preferences/Shortcuts "Hotkeys" tab in F12 menu] you can adjust and fine-tune them or reset at any moment. 38 * [=#preferences Preferences] ([wiki:Help/Preferences complete reference]) - some of the settings are not accessible via [Help/Action/Preferences settings menu] or have [#JOSMinterfacecustomization control elements and menus everywhere in the editor] 39 * [=#undoredo Undo/redo mechanism] - used to spot mistakes, but these tools are especially useful when ''learning new tools'' in JOSM. Similar to other editors, ''most operations'' in JOSM can be [Help/Action/Undo undone] and [Help/Action/Redo redone], unless they are listed in [wiki:Help/Listofirreversibleoperations list of irreversible operations]. Difference is that all changes can be displayed in [Help/Dialog/CommandStack command stack dialog]. 37 * [=#hotkeys Hotkeys] or shortcuts ([wiki:Shortcuts complete reference]). **EVERY** "button" and menu item may be assigned with hot-key (including menu items provided with [wiki:Plugins plugins]; popular [wiki:Presets presets] and [wiki:Help/Action/Search#SavesearchqueryinMaintoolbar saved search queries]).
