Implement Ctrl+drag to add to selection

Open Krakonos opened this issue 10 years ago • 8 comments

It was suggested in old redmine bug 3251, by Jonathan Bennett:

Pressing Control while drag-selecting should add to the current selection. At present it doesn't modify the behaviour of a drag, but does of a click-select.

If it's easy to implement, Control-Shift-drag could subtract from the selection as well.

@Krakonos may i start working with this issue..

Sure, I'd also be happy to provide you assistance if you have any questions. I would suggest looking into the current handling (click-select should have this feature) and duplicate that in drag-selection. It might also be worth abstracting some of the common code to a function, but I think it should be dead simple once you find the correct spot.

Once you have something, don't hesitate to create a pull request for review, even if the code needs more work.

@Krakonos Sir, I know that this is a very amateur question but how may I know which of the modules are performing a certain functionality. Also, is current Handling a folder? if it is I couldn't find it. Do I need to add the whole osm repository to my local machine or would it be enough for me to just add merkaartor(which I have already done) to add this feature? I am sorry for these silly questions but since I am a sophomore I want to contribute. Also, @KraKonos is your organization going to participate in GSoC this year too.

Hi!

No worries:

  1. You only need the merkaartor repository. Please read COMPILING.md and HACKING.md to start you up on the build process.
  2. Finding the right spot is a bit hard for larger projects; but usually you can orient yourself relatively quickly and find the rough spot with a little bit of luck; then you have to study that a bit more to find the exact place to put your code in, so it works well with the rest of the system. I can hint you that the UI interactions are in src/Interactions, I think the selection is handled in EditInteraction, but look around for uses of setSelection method.
  3. I do not plan to participate in GSoC. However, I believe OSM participates regularly: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019

@Krakonos sir, Will contributing to Merkaator help me in the process of GSoC if I wish to work with OSM. Since merkaator is a part of osm, or do I have to contribute to somewhere else for GSoC. Quick update: @Krakonos sir I have found the documentation for Merkaator and it is very helpful. Thanks for the help, sir! wish to get an update from you soon.

I'm not really sure how that helps to GSoC. I'd suggest contacting someone directly in OSM foundation, they'll know more.

@Krakonos I have filled the bbox with some specific longitudes and latitudes in merkaartor now it looks like this. Is it suppose to look like this. Hey if I am going in the right direction please update me. Should I start checking for the Implement Ctrl+drag to add to selection #11 Screenshot from 2020-01-17 15-02-31

Looks fine. The read dots show area that wasn't fully downloaded (the things there might be part of some relation?)
