I used to use it for adding ways to current segments, but I prefer the tways
plugin for that.

The Tways plugin is better for that: you select an area, and it creates many
ways from all adjacent, unwayed, nonbranching segments.

I feel this is similar (but not identical) to the "select straight

What about including the TWays plugin instead as a JOSM core feature?
