Double tap Way to add a Node

[verhovsky]

The iD editor works this way. If you double click on a way somewhere it adds a Node there. On touch surfaces it requires a triple tap. I like this more than Go Map!!'s "+" button because I don't have to move my hand/thumb as much/as precisely and it's faster. I think Go Map!! should have both ways of adding a node.

You could make it

• just a double tap to add a node any time
• the way has to be selected first for a double tap to add a node (and by extension, if you triple tap a way that's not selected it would add a node)
• always a triple tap to add a node (that's how iD editor works)

I think the second option would probably be best.

I think the macOS app should work like iD too (just double click) instead of right-clicking and also on iOS with an Apple Pencil tap (#529 #534) it should just be a double tap because it's more precise than a finger. Most importantly this allows drawing a Way starting from another way instead of currently with Go Map!! you always have to draw a disconnected way and then remember to go back to the start and connect it.

I'm loath to add a double-tap gesture that adds nodes. People already complain that it's too easy to accidentally modify things, and this seems like it would make that problem worse.

Can you explain what you mean here? There are only a few situations where you're not allowed to extend or add to an existing way.
