    33[[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/improvewayaccuracy.png)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:'' **{{{W}}}**  — is a one of the [wiki:Help/Modes JOSM modes]
    44
    5 This mode can ''add, move and delete'' '''nodes''' of the previously entered [Help/Concepts/Object objects]; this mode used only to update existing data.
     5This mode can ''add, move and delete'' '''nodes''' of the previously entered [Help/Concepts/Object ways]; this mode used only to update existing data (ways).
    66
    77The goal of the mode is to substitute dragging and dropping nodes with clicking to quicken the editing process.

     11== Activation steps ==
     12
     13Two options:
     14* Select a way, then [Help/Modes#Activateamode activate a mode as usual]
     15* Activate a mode, then select a way to update (icon: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/mode.png,middle,nolink)]])
     16
     17To start working on a different way without leaving the mode, unselect current way by pressing **{{{Esc}}}** and click on another one.

    1321
    14 1. Select a way you want to work on.
    15 1. Click on the **Improve Way Accuracy** [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/improvewayaccuracy.png)]] button on the left panel to enter a special editing mode.
    16 1. 
    17     * ''To move existing nodes:''[[BR]]
    18       Click on the map where you think a node should be. The highlighted (nearest) node will be moved there.
    19     * ''To create new nodes:''[[BR]]
    20       Press and hold **{{{Ctrl}}}** button and click on the map. A new node will split the segment that is the closest one to the cursor.
    21     * ''To delete existing nodes:''[[BR]]
    22       Press and hold **{{{Alt}}}** or **{{{AltGr}}}** button and click on the map. The highlighted (nearest) node will be deleted. **Please try to use as much existing nodes as you can, because thus you keep their history.**
    23 1. To start working on a different way without leaving the mode, unselect current way by pressing **{{{Esc}}}** and click on another one.
     22=== To create new nodes [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/addnode.png,middle,nolink,inline)]] (+{{{Ctrl}}}) ===
     23
     24A new node will split the segment that is the closest one to the cursor.
     25
     26=== To move existing nodes ===
     27
     28Click on the map where you think a node should be. The highlighted (nearest) node will be moved there.
     29
     30=== To remove nodes [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/delete.png,middle,nolink,inline)]] (+{{{Alt}}}) ===
     31
     32Press and hold **{{{Alt}}}** or **{{{AltGr}}}** button and click on the map. The highlighted (nearest) node will be deleted.
     33
     34Please try to keep as much existing nodes as you can, because thus you keep their history.
     35
     36=== Lock segment ===
     37
     38* Lock moved node: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/lock.png,middle,nolink)]] {{{Shift}}}
     39* Lock added node: [[Image(source:trunk/images/cursor/modifier/add_node_lock.png,middle,nolink)]] {{{Ctrl}}} {{{Shift}}}
     40
     41The plugin automatically finds segments and nodes that are the closest to the cursor. However, if you want to get more flexibility, you can **lock the highlighted node/segment** when moving a mouse. Press and hold **{{{Shift}}}** or left mouse button and the focused node or segment will be kept the same no matter where you move the cursor.

    2543== Tips ==
    26 * The plugin automatically finds segments and nodes that are the closest to the cursor. However, if you want to get more flexibility, you can **lock the highlighted node/segment** when moving a mouse. Press and hold **{{{Shift}}}** or left mouse button and the focused node or segment will be kept the same no matter where you move the cursor.
    2744* JOSM has a [[WireframeToggle|wireframe view]] that turns off any styles and makes lines very thin. You can try it by pressing **{{{Ctrl+W}}}** It might be a good idea to toggle that view before improving ways accuracy as it allows to see the imagery below the data layer in a much better way.
    2845* Linux may use the left-ALT key as a mouse modifier, which will annoyingly compel Accuracy mode to use right-Alt to delete nodes.
