JOSM filter 'untagged'. Is there a way to get it to filter out 'meta' tags?

By default JOSM's filter 'untagged' option ignores meta tags such as note, source & created_by etc.

This is useful & annoying in equal measure. Is there a way to turn this behavior off? (toggle?)

Is there a list of all these meta tags?

The tags to ignore when looking for untagged nodes seem to be defined in UntaggedNode.java function visitKeyValue(). Currently they are:

tag fixme=*
tags starting with
- note, comment or description
- created_by or converted_by
- watch
- source

I'm not sure if you can disable this behavior. However you can explicitly add tags you are searching for, for example by using "untagged or fixme or note".
