[josm-dev] Terracer plugin: A few ideas for improved usability

[Lambertus]

Hello list,

There is an (ongoing) building import in The Netherlands and as a result 
of that I've applied addresses to a couple of hundred buildings. From 
this experience I have some wishes for the terracer plugin which would 
greatly improve the usability when applied. I hope you don't mind me 
asking...

- Keybind ESC to close the window (same behaviour as 'Cancel').
- Keybind Enter to close the window (same behaviour as 'Ok').
- Put focus on the first field ('lowest number') when the window opens.
- Assume 'Even/Odd' as the default choice (I admit that this could be a 
choice based on regional choice, but at least for The Netherlands this 
is the default).

The following two items would help when using the terracer plugin for 
tagging single free-standing houses (yes, I liked using terracer for 
taging single houses as well):
- Allow non-numeric addresses (like 12a or 34-2) if only one number is 
entered.
- Don't process the building outline as if it were a housing block if 
only one number is entered as many free-standing buildings have 
non-symmetrical shapes (and there is nothing to terrace anyway).

If it is considered that these changes could be made by a Java noob then 
a link to the plugin code is appreciated and I'll attempt to create a 
patch. Thanks in advance.
