I've come across this a couple of times recently. There will be a detailed curve describing a building or wall with 20-50+ nodes describing it. I'd like to attach an area to another detailed one, e.g. a park that starts next to a really curvy wall. I'd prefer not to have to find 50 closely packed nodes and click 50 times. Is there a keyboard shortcut that will add the next node in a new area to be shared with the next node in an existing area? I instinctively tried using the arrow key pointing toward the next node, but sadly that didn't work. I see a mention of using 'f' in the Potlach editor, but I'd prefer not to have to use Flash. asked 07 Dec '17, 22:23 IcyMidnight |
You can use the "F" trick in JOSM too: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/FollowLine answered 07 Dec '17, 23:00 Hjart I actually tried that. Maybe I'm not in "expert mode"?

Check the last option in the "View" menu: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Menu/View to enable expert mode

note: I use the parallel tool with potlatch2 so that i don't end up with shared nodes which can a real pain later if someone wishes to edit one polygon but not the other one or two... Not sure if JOSM as a parallel tool.

In the case of polygons I much prefer that they do share nodes where they meet (I prefer that polygons do not share nodes with any highway=* though). With the mentioned Followline tool it's fairly easy to separate polygons where needed.

Apparently we're talking about different editors. I'm asking about the iD editor. Any way to follow in that one?

It's not currently possible in iD. There's an open feature request:
