A

Toggle connection arrows between transparent or opaque so you can see beneath them and click items under them. Often times editors will hit the A key by mistake and then wonder why turn arrows cannot be selected. Some editors use this as their default setting to avoid making Unwanted changes to turns by mistake and deactivate only when they want to restrict/allow turns.

0
Q

Disable all connections for the selected junction which makes the turn arrows all red for that selected junction

0
S

Toggles separation of connection arrows so they do not overlap to ease clicking on either

0
W

Allow all connections for the selected junction which makes the turn arrows all green for that selected junction. Note that this key will only enable all turns that had not previously been automatically enabled by the Waze routing server, called soft allowed turns. The soft allowed turns have a higher penalty than turns enabled by the editor. Therefore since soft and editor allowed turns have the same color green, if it is known that all turns are enabled at a particular intersection, it is better to first force all turns to disabled with the Q key and then press the W key to force them all to editor enabled.

0
