For the next minor release v1.6.0 I'm planning to rewrite the map modes (see #21).
While doing this, I'd also like to change some of the keyboard shortcuts. My goal is syncing them as much as possible with the ones of the org.openstreetmap.josm.actions.mapmode.SelectAction (the select mode for OSM data in JOSM core).

Below is my proposal on how these would change, what do you think about this?

MeaningCurrent shortcutProposed shortcutShortcut in SelectAction of JOSM core
SelectClickClickClick
MoveDragDragDrag
Add to selectionCtrl+clickShift+clickShift+click
Toggle selectionCtrl+clickCtrl+click
RotateShift+dragCtrl+Shift+dragCtrl+Shift+drag
Select the whole sequenceDoubleclickDoubleclick
Join two sequencesC(C is shortcut for joining/Combining ways)

If you have an opinion on these changes, please share it here, so I can take it into account.

Also, feedback on the other keyboard shortcuts is welcome:

  • Ctrl+, opens the MapillaryLayer or toggles it as the active layer if already existent
  • Ctrl+. downloads the sequences in currently visible area regardless of download mode
  • Do you have a suggestion for a keyboard shortcut to toggle the MapObjectLayer?

In retrospect I'm not sure doubleclick was the best shortcut for selecting the whole sequence. I remember selecting the whole sequence by accident a few times.

👍 This happened to me too, especially when using a notebook touchpad.

What about Alt Gr + click? Or maybe even better, Ctrl + A + click?

I would be happy with the proposed changes, looks okay for me.
