I didn't expect it to be "keep ESC pressed", since that is not how you use ESC 
normally. I've tried this and JOSM does not seem to like it very much. It takes 
a very long time to add nodes to an existing way this way. It is even much 
slower than "click"-"ESC"-"click"-"ESC"- etc.

I'd still like an option to add nodes without continuing a way after that.
What is the objection of having a method for that, perhaps tied to the letter N?
