Description

The keyboard shortcuts are a good idea. But it looks like somebody just picked the keys from the top row of the keyboard. I'd rather have something I can remember, such as j for JOSM and s or the spacebar for "skip".

Choosing keys next to each other would make sense if your fingers stay on these keys all the time and you can quickly choose with just one hand, but that's not the way I interact with Maproulette.
