[josm-dev] custom hot keys

[Jo]

By adding the source to for example bus stops, I was hoping to send a
future hint to a bot that may one day import the bus stops from the PT
company. If I already aligned the position on Bing imagery, I'd like
it to leave that position alone.

As far as hot keys go, I seem to be rather keyboard minded. I tried
OneClick, but in practice it comes down to three clicks. So now I
simply type source;tab; arrow down (1-3 times), just like I do to
select address:housenumber.

It would be nice to have a hot key for adding key values though...

Thanks for all the hints!

Jo
