[JOSM] How to disable the 'Snap to angle' function?
Hi,
when I add a way in JOSM it sometimes shows a second line with an angle in degrees and tries to snap the next point to that line where I don't want to have it. While this might be useful for creating orthogonal things like buildings it is no help at all for free form ways.
How can I disable this 'help' temporarily or persistently?
Thank you in advance
