[josm-dev] New "add node" action

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    I added a method in the "edit" menu to add a new node by entering 
its lat/lon manually. It seems there is demand for this at least among 
users in Germany (no simple map clicking for a nation of engineers, it's 
just too imprecise!).

I always thought that we might one day have something like a "data view" 
where the data is presented not on a map but in a kind of spreadsheet. 
This would of course have been a cooler way to add the desired 
functionality - want a new node, just create a new row on the "nodes" 
sheet! But I wasn't in the mood for two days of coding so this is all we 
get.

Can someone outline how we are supposed to deal with keyboard shortcuts? 
I just gave my new method a "VK_D" but it seems I've upset things and 
the "duplicate" action has now been moved to another shortcut.

What's the recommended way for a developer to assign shortcuts? Should 
lesser actions perhaps be left without one?

Bye
Frederik
