OpenStreetMap
The OSM website now has a context menu (right-click menu)!
English телендә mcld18 February 2017 баҫылып сыҡты.It gives me great pleasure to announce that the OpenStreetMap website now has a context menu! Also known as a right-click menu:
You might not think this is big news, but I do. A few people asked for this feature in the past, and eventually I proposed some code for it. It took 18 months for the proposal to be merged into the website codebase - why? Primarily because OSM is built and run by volunteers with limited time, but also because my Javascript skills weren’t quite up to adding the important polish and tests that are needed for production-ready code. A million thanks to Tom Hughes for improving my not-quite-finished proposal, and for all the feedback that helped me understand how to do things right.

Thanks! I was always struggling with route planning. I had to find a named object near the origin and an other one near destination, type the names and hoped it finds the right places. Now I can just point and click. It is much more straightforward.

Excellent work. Now how do I mark a particular tile dirty? Before I could do Open image in a new tab and mark it…

Note that you can also drag the green and red pins next to the To and From boxes to the route’s start and destination. This context menu is more convenient, of course – thanks for this improvement, mcld!
In Firefox, you can go to Tools ‣ Page Info, switch to the Media tab, and look for the tile you want to dirty. You can also use this tool to determine the coordinates to insert in
http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png/dirty. See this article for more details on tile URLs.mcldтарафынан19 February 2017 cәғәт 10:13көндө ҡаралған
@Stalfur if you’re using Firefox, use SHIFT-click to get the “original” context menu back.

@mcld or, to say it even more clearly: SHIFT-right_click resp. SHIFT-CTRL-click on a Mac.

@mcld @Tom Thanks for this great feature, I’ve been doing workarounds for years. @Minh Nguyen I did not know that drag and drop solution unfortunately, that is actually quite useful! Thanks for that too.

Thank you for your work mcld! This opens up room to add so many more features that anyone using to a modern map these days is used to.
