Most entries are just the backend storage for the GUI preferences, so 
there is no need to edit those by hand. Another group are settings that 
give access to "hidden" features, typically for tuning a hard-coded 
parameter.

There is no complete list of JOSM advanced preferences with 
descriptions. Some keys and their function are mentioned in a commit 
message or bug tracker comment. The best you can do is to find where the 
preference key is referenced in the JOSM source code and try to 
understand what it does.
