[josm-dev] JOSM mini-roadmap anyone?

Hi,

This can be done, but JOSM doesn't currently show a remaining "shadow"
of the object where it was before the move started. This means it is
impossible to move something "slightly left" because by the time you
moved it "far left" to break free from the threshold, you have
forgotten where you wanted to put it. Of course if you had a WMS
background etc then it would be ok.

Why shift? Are the plain arrow key in use?

(A side note: Does anyone else find that the Ctrl-Arrow combinations
work exactly opposite to what one would expect?)

Bye
Frederik
