|| Shift-Click || Holding the "Shift" key turns off extending the selected way
|| Ctrl-Click || Holding the "Ctrl" key prevents snapping on existing ways and nodes.
|| Alt-Click || Holding the "Alt" key creates a separated though connected way (same you could do afterwards by selecting a node and press P). This mode is marked by a small bar at the previous node.
=== delete mode ===
|| Shift-Click || Holding the "Shift" key and clicking on a way segment only deletes this way segment and not the whole way.
|| Ctrl-Click || Holding the "Ctrl" key deletes object and references (i.e. ways using this node).
|| Alt-Click || Holding the "Alt" key and clicking on a way only deletes the way without its nodes.
=== all modes ===
|| Click-RightMouse || Click and drag to span.
|| Scroll-Wheel || Zoom in and out.

Note: In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME gnome] desktop environment Alt-Click is used for moving the window. The AltGr key can be used instead.
