I don't know if this feature exists, but is it possible to autopan in JOSM? When I'm tracing rivers or long straight roads, I'm usually click-click-click to add nodes, then I have to pan by dragging with the right mouse button, then click-click-click to add more nodes. I thought it would be helpful if the dragging with the right mouse button could be eliminated. It would be cool if JOSM centred the window when I (left) clicked to add a node on that new node. This way I would not have to manually drag & pan. Is there such a feature in JOSM, or a plugin that does it? (I'm using JOSM version 7480) asked 07 Sep '14, 11:01  rorym |
One Answer:
I guess you are looking for the "Viewport Following". From the view menu in JOSM select "Viewport Following" (expert mode only, see also JOSM view menu help). answered 07 Sep '14, 16:06  BlueTiger edited 07 Sep '14, 17:29  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
Thank you @aseerel4c26 for the edit :)
@BlueTiger: :-) I saw this menu entry before but never tested/used it (I wrongly assumed it is to be used together with live GPS data). Very interesting!
That's exactly what I wanted!
