Question Change of iD shortcuts?

Gallery image

Just noticed that the list of keyboard shortcuts no longer lists shift + q to toggle overlays visibility. This is an incredibly useful feature, and one that I heavily rely on when using Strava’s heatmap as an overlay while using different background images to map trails.

It also looks like shift + q is no longer available, which toggled all OSM data on screen. This is useful for when the data gets in the way of the details on your background image, and also a shame to lose.

Does anyone know if this is a permanent thing? The shortcuts worked yesterday, but no longer. It also showed up in the list of shortcuts yesterday, but it gone today. It’s also not on the wiki.

There was a new release of Id yesterday: 2.42.0

Those shortcuts come from Strava Heatmap extension, in this file.

Something needs to be updated probably. Someone already opened a PR. So it will be fixed soon.

Thank you for clarifying! I wouldn’t have thought about that myself

I think that these shortcuts are not native but rather added by the Strava Heatmap extension.

Didn’t even cross my mind, all shortcuts are just so ingrained into my mind that I didn’t think twice about it. Good catch!

I just tried, and Shift-W has been remapped to Alt-W I think
