Option of keyboard shortcut for "switch (background-)imagery view to next available (background-)imagery in list"

[anonymous]

See title, is something already possible/available? If not, is this an idea which would be worth for implementing?

Thanks for reading in advance.

(same question for iD-editor, see: ​https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/7301)

Already implemented see Layer List Dialog.

@skyper thanks for pointing to the "LayerList". I think this is not the list i meant here. I talking about the imagery list, for which you have access in top main menu "Imagery", which means 10th menu item from left side.

(file | edit | view | mode | tools | more tools | data | selection | presets | IMAGERY | windows | public transport | audio | help).

Similar to [Alt]+[Tab], but using ⯀ (to be defined) and for (not-yet-added) background imagery?

Say, the imagery menu lists A, B, C, D as available imagery sources fur the current location. When having only a data layer, pressing ⯀ should add A? When A is present, pressing ⯀ should remove A and add B? When D is present, pressing ⯀ should remove D and add A?

@simon04 exactly. Thank you for the way much better explanation of what i had in my mind.

Imaging use-case, there is a removed building and the mapper changed the existing osm-object from building=yes to demolished:building=yes (or to removed:building=yes or to razed:building=yes) maybe because he want to reduce the risk, that the building outline will be mapped again from the next mapper which uses the outdated aerial imagery (background data) as source.

I would think, the ​lifecycle object relics (demolished:*=yes or removed:*=yes or razed:*=yes) could be latest removed from the osm-database at all, when all different available (for the relevant area) aerial imagery doesn't show the old buildings any more. So it would be convenient to scroll/browse fast (via keyboard shortcut) through all the potential available aerial imageries for that area.

Wouldn't it make more sense to select the imagery sources you need and cycle though them?

In my area (Zürich) JOSM lists 11 imageries, but 6 are not useful for me:

• 2 are outdated: "Kanton Zürich Orthophotos 2014/2015" and "Kanton Zürich Orthophotos 2015/2016" are deprecated by "Kanton Zürich Orthophoto 2018"
• 2 are based on OSM: "OpenStreetMap (Standard Black & White)" and "OpenStreetMap Carto (Standard)"
• 2 has bad resolution (a pixel is about 10 square meter): "imagico.de: Central Alps in late September 2016" and "imagico.de: Western Alps autumn colors 2017"

Does it make sense always to cycle threw all of them?

@mdk Interesting,

My first idea was to have an option to go through all potential available imagery sources, just to check if there is one which could help me for a specific mapping (use) case.

Later on, it could be of course a good idea to select some of these imagery sources, which are not more of interest (so which have low priority, maybe because of far outdated data), and move these imagery sources to a kind of a black list. The black list items could be removed for the new keyboard shortcut scrolling function cycle.
