[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Automatic deselecting "Map Notes" when changing to/from Edit Mode is annoying (#1212)

[Aidan Epstein]

I have the same issue with not preserving the layer that I pick.  This appears to be due to constructing a URL fragment (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/XX/YY) for the current editor view that doesn't include the previous layers (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/XX/YY&layers=YN).  I've never worked on the code for this project, and I don't do much web development, but it seems like there are two ways to fix this:

1. Add the layer info to the generated URL, but I'm not sure where this is stored, or how one would get it
2. Don't reset the layer when getting a URL fragment without layer parameter, perhaps only doing it when receiving an empty layer parameter (https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/XX/YY&layers=)

I'm not sure which would be a better solution, though
