[josm-dev] Do we need some principles for JOSM interface design?

Hi,

If you use the "add&connect" and click into an existing way, it will
insert a node in there.

It will also connect to the last selected node if there is one, unless
you press shift when clicking to stop that.

> nad neither just add node.

If you click somewhere where there's nothing, it will insert a new
node (and connect... as above).

If you click somewhere where there is a way and you deliberately want
to create a node near, as opposed to inserted into, the way, then you
need to hold ctrl.

All these modifier keys are described in a little help line at the
bottom of the screen.

If you have suggestions on how to make these hints more prominent, I'm
all ears!

Bye
Frederik
