OSM hot keys

Posted by OsinachiAtama on 17 May 2022 in English.

Hi!! I am getting acquainted with the OSM hot keys(keyboard shortcuts) and it makes the editing easier. At this point I have added over 800 buildings to my father’s village. It’s been fun so far and I’d like to move on to my mother’s village.

That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear you’re having fun, while helping improve OpenStreetMap data.

Since you mentioned buildings, I wonder if you have tried the RapiD editor, with the their building detections?

For example, this is the same area you just recently edited: using RapiD with building detections

As you can see, the buildings you added are there, but there are fuschia-colored buildings detections that you can easily add into OpenStreetMap.

It’s not perfect, and occasionally, you have to edit/improve the suggested geometry – but it’s pretty good. It’s based on iD, so the shortcuts you just memorized should work, too.

You can try the RapiD editor yourself here, using your OpenStreetMap account.
