[josm-dev] Suggestion: Show object types for items in the presets menus

[Adolf Winterer]

Hello list,

when assigning a tag, which I do not use often or even for the first time, 
from the presets menu I have to look up the tag in the wiki quite frequently 
to find out for which kind of object the tag is intended (node, way or area). 
Some tags can even be used for more than one object type.

Therefore I suggest that menu items in the presets menu get one or more 
symbols added after the items name (the symbol is already in front of the 
name) indicating the kind of objects it is intended to be applied to.

The symbols for node, way and area should be the same as in the wiki as these 
symbols are well known.

Sorry, I'm not a Java programmer, so I do not have a patch for this.

Best regards,
