| | 1 | == Common Keyboard Shortcuts == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Adds single-key shortcuts for commonly-used tags (roads, buildings, huts, landuse). |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Examples of workflows after the shortcuts have been added. |
| | 6 | * Draw non-rectangular buildings, press 'q' to square the corners, press 'd' to set 'building=yes'. |
| | 7 | * Draw a closed round polygon, press 'o' to normalize the circle, press 'h' to set 'building=hut'. |
| | 8 | * Draw a road, press 't' to set 'highway=residential'. |
| | 9 | * Draw a polygon around a small settlement, press 'k' to set 'landuse=residential' |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | === Setup === |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Note: All three of the following steps need to be performed for single-key shortcuts to work. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | A. Adding the presets to the JOSM Menu |
| | 16 | * In JOSM Preferences, open the Map Settings-Tagging Presets dialog. (Currently third icon from the top in the left column, then the third tab.) |
| | 17 | * Find 'Common Keyboard Shortcuts' in the Available Presets list on the left. Click '>' to add it to the 'Active presets' list. |
| | 18 | * Press OK, then when prompted, restart JOSM. ‘Common Keyboard Shortcuts’ should now appear under ‘Presets’. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | B. Adding the presets to the JOSM Toolbar |
| | 21 | * In JOSM-Preferences, open the Toolbar-Preferences dialog. (Currently fifth icon from the top in the left column). |
| | 22 | * In the Available pane, open the Presets folder, select a preset, and click the ‘<‘ button to add it to the toolbar. Presets to add are: Residential, Service, Unclassified, Track, Tertiary, Building, Hut and Residential Area. |
| | 23 | * The presets should now be visible in the toolbar. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | C. Assigning shortcut keys to the presets |
| | 26 | * In JOSM-Preferences, open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. (Currently seventh icon from the top in the left column). |
| | 27 | * Sort the Actions alphabetically, by clicking on the 'Actions' column title. |
| | 28 | * Assign an unused key to each desired preset using the next steps. Suggested keys are: Residential=’T’, Service=‘Y’, Track=‘U’, Building='D', Hut='H', Residential Area or Tertiary='K'. |
| | 29 | * Find the preset in the Actions list. For example, 'Toolbar: Residential' refers to the 'Residential' preset. |
| | 30 | * Deselect both the "Use Default" and "disable" checkboxes. Set the shortcut key in the dropdown menu. Press OK. Restart JOSM when prompted. |
| | 31 | * You should now be able to use the shortcut keys to tag objects that have been selected. |
