I'm looking for an easy way to directly set the longitude and latitude of a node. The best would be a "copy-paste" of both longitude and latitude. The editor doesn't matter. I thought this would be a build-in feature in JOSM but seems not (I may be blind though). So at this moment, all I have found to set the position of a node using JOSM is:

For new nodes in JOSM:
To move an existing node:
Both of these require expert mode. Alternately, if you add a new node then merge an existing node to it it should keep the history of the old node. This should also be fairly trivial in the Level0 editor. So it's confirmed, I'm blind. Thank you :)

Another way (still not simple):
The old node will be moved to the new node position and the new node deleted in the merge. |

I have just tried dragging a waymark.gpx into the iD window and that works. I have also displayed waymarks with Potlatch2 ..Backgrounds at the botton choose vector file .. browse to waypoint file and load and select it. That mark displays. Potlatch2 can display the cursor co-ords Lat/long just select the feature from the toolbox. |
FWIW if you're overwhelmed by reams of xml you can also create another layer and selectively merge across only the elements that interest you. If you are modifying existing nodes you may also need to manually set
action='modify'if you haven't edited any tags.
