| 4 | | The mode menu lists all working modes of JOSM. These are available in the [wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit Toolbar] too and explained there. Plugins can add additional working modes. |
| | 6 | The Mode menu lists all Working modes available to JOSM and shows the current one. |

| | 10 | == Working mode ==#Workingmode |
| | 11 | The effect of a mouse click in the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] is determined by the Working mode. |
| | 12 | Therefore JOSM has a current Working mode at **all times**. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Usually another Working mode is entered with a keystroke. |
| | 15 | Additionally the buttons visible in the upper half of the [wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar#Workingmodes Edit toolbar] allow entering a Working mode. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Most Working modes have individual icons for the mouse pointer. |
| | 18 | Further information about the next mouse click is also shown at the right hand side of the [wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status bar]. |
