Allow a setting for every 10, 20, 50 changes ?
That could be useful, but also really painful. Or problematic. There are some types of changes which you don't want to keep, like dragging another segment or creating another segment just to split a road. You're going to delete it in the next "change" so I wouldn't want to save it...

If there's good reasons for not adding it, then okay.
For sure off by default. I think it sure could be potentially helpful, and I can think of any significant harm it would cause in general use. Mike, if you want to implemented it and test yourself and let us know how you feel it works in practice, cool.

Mike, I'm not sure if the most recent update to JNF should be working, but that part isn't showing WazeBar in 0.0.19 for me in the beta. Is this a known situation? I know JNF got 3-4 updates today as the beta versions flopped around...

It's the Junction Node Fixer. It's included, I think, in Tim's highlighter. It's the middle button of the highlighters in WazeBar. I think if you haven't updated the extension for today's beta release with Tim's latest code and/or Brian's, that's why it isn't showing in the beta only.

Hmm. This morning, the button is not there in the production WME either. It isn't JNF, but the advanced features. I was mis-typing.

Yes! So far, so good. It also picks up the house number changes in the beta.

For the dark theme, the standard Waze dark header would work better.

Yea, I haven't given that too much attention over the past few days. Just taken the existing header and positioned it. WME (live) doesn't have the black header.
True, but the forums do. I figure that one would work out well.

Any feedback on the suggestion that WazeBar appear below the headers, just above the map, to decrease mouse movement?

Cool.

Request: (asked of Waze a LONG time ago) after a search is complete, move the focus to the map. Often, I find myself wanting to execute a keyboard shortcut like hide/show aerial layer, etc. But after a search, with the focus remaining on the search box, this just ends up typing into that field.
