This is quite odd. When I try it with Potlatch, the target road gets a blue 'lining', whether there is a target node or not.<br><br>I'll work on a little video tutorial for JOSM tonight. I already created some for more complicated stuff in this channel:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/yoyo77777yoyo">http://www.youtube.com/user/yoyo77777yoyo</a><br><br>There is no sound. Some have captions, but unfortunately many of the shortcut keys were changed over the past few months.<br>
<br>b instead of w to create a building<br>del instead of d to delete what is selected<br>x is still extrude, but it's more efficient to double click to add a node on a building contour (while in extrude mode) than to add it with a, then select it with s. (so I have also been learning since I created those videos)<br>
<br>j will do what you want to do: join a node to the nearest way(s)<br>m will merge two or more nodes. The last node that was added to the selection is the one that will remain<br>g will detach a node from a way<br>c will combine two ways<br>
