9252	Connecting 2 lines	juergen.neumann@…	team	"I take care in repairing issues in OSM maps introduced by the mappers.
My profile: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/nafl ,about 900 sets uploaded, most of them around 100 corrections at a time.

Very often 2 lines almost touch and from the aereal photo it is clear that they should be connected.

Idea: Connect the lines easily, withouth having to:
1) make the 2 lines intersect by shifting the last point of one line
2) set the connection point
3) delete the old point of the line I enlarged
To do these steps you have to switch between ""set point"" mode and move/select object and it is quite some clicking effort.
Idea: press a key (whatever is free), select the endpoint of one line, move it over the second line, release mouse button and keyboard button, JOSM automatically connects, as it does when you draw lines/points

Here 2 crude drawings of the problem. * means a point, +++++ a line
If spaces are not displayed with the same width the drawing is not readable. Copy to text editor to look at.
