[Patch] Shortcuts in relation member editor

[simon04]

I propose to add shortcuts to edit the member list of relations:

• [Alt]+[Up] to move the selected member(s) up.
• [Alt]+[Down] to move the selected member(s) down.
• [Del] to delete the selected member(s).

Here's a patch.

I think it is a good solution. Is it OK for Linux users?

[akks]

Do all of us want to eliminate shortcut conflicts before tested version release?

I think [Alt] problem is because one can move windows by holding the [Alt] key (GNOME, KDE SC). The above shortcuts do not involve a mouse action and therefore should not be affected.

@simon04: Do you plan to commit it?

@team: Are there any problems with this patch?

Please not in stabilization phase.

Works for me. Maybe treat the AltGr key the same as Alt. I don't like del - if main window has focus, this deletes the object, so it may be confusing.

or relations, tags, layer or last selection.

Use [Alt]+[Del] instead of [Del]? I would not like to map letters (like [D]) to delete as these are typically used to enter the role.

There is also #7288, maybe you can have a look at this ticket, too.

In [4905/josm]:

fix #7288, #7301: based on patch by simon04 / 4 new Relation Editor shortcuts instead of non-working old ones

Please have a look at changes and reopen this ticket if some more shortcuts should be added.

@simon04: I added registerShortcut calls to your patch to make shortcuts customizable.
Default ones are Alt-Up, Al-Down, Alt-Del and Alt-Home for downloading incomplete members.
I left all other actions without shortcuts (sorting, reversing, etc. - the lines are commented), because they did not work for very long time and no one noticed it :)

Nice. :-)
