[josm-dev] PATCH: in "Draw" mode, extend current way

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   I have tried to merge Matthew's and my ideas into the latest JOSM
release (r409, jar available now). The changes are as follows:

1. after extending any way, the way will always be selected (not the
   newly added node as it was before).

2. when clicking somewhere with a way selected,

   2a) if a node is also selected and that node is at the end of the
       selected way, extend the selected way from the selected node;
   2b) if no node is selected but the last used node was at the end
       of the selected way, extend the selected way from the last used
       node

3. when clicking somewhere with only a node selected, act as before;
   (ok this is not a change but good to mention it anyway)

4. when clicking on a node with nothing selected, select that node;

5. the "U" key clears the existing selection.

These changes aim to squeeze the last bit of productivity out of our
poor mappers ;-) by further reducing mode switches (immediately tag
the new way after you're finished, no need to go to "select" mode
first), and they should give better control about which way is
extended, if any.

Matthew, if this fails to cover anything that you wanted to achieve
with your patch, do say!

Bye
Frederik
