Click in an empty area and drag selects more objects. || Click || Clicking and dragging a red cross in the middle of a segment will insert a new node at the location of the cross. || Click-MiddleMouse || Cycle through the different objects under the mouse cursor (for duplicated nodes or ways sharing the same nodes). Holding "Ctrl" afterwards to directly select an object. || Shift-Click || Holding the "Shift" key when in ''select mode'' adds new element to existing selection. || Ctrl-Click || Holding the "Ctrl" key toggles element selection. || Ctrl-Area || Using area selection with "Ctrl" removes elements in area from selection. || Ctrl-Move || Selecting "Ctrl" when moving nodes joins these nodes with the traget node the are dropped on. || Ctrl-Shift-LeftMouse || Holding the "Shift" and "Ctrl" key allows ''rotating'' selected objects. || Ctrl-Alt-LeftMouse || Holding the "Ctrl" and "Alt" key allows ''scaling'' selected objects. || Alt-Click || Cycle through the different objects under the mouse cursor (without popup). === add mode === || Double Click || Ends the current way. || 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. === extrude mode (X) === || Ctrl-Click || Holding the "Ctrl" moves way segments along their perpendicular (orthogonal to the arrow direction of the way segement). === all modes === || Click-RightMouse || Click and drag to move the map. || Scroll-Wheel || Zoom in and out. Note: In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME gnome] desktop environment "Alt"-Click is used for moving the window. The "AltGr" key can be used instead; note that on some keyboards the "AltGr" key is simply the right-hand "Alt" key. == See also == * Auto generated [DevelopersGuide/ShortcutsList list] of shortcuts ---- Back to [wiki:/Help Main Help]
