Allows you to join multiple, white snap to point dots with one click.

When drawing round a boundary using snap to point, hold the Spacebar down and click on a white dot further down the boundary line. This will continue your shape/line and join up all the points in between.

It doesn't work when there's an orange dot in between your first and last point.

Click on the finished shape, press Enter on the keyboard. This will take you back to your last step. You can then use Backspace to delete the lines.

When you've drawn several features and you need to edit one or more, press P on the keyboard to select each previous feature.
