user-editable clipboard for most needed objects

I think, it could take a corner at the edit-window (se attachment) where the mapper could place the things he at the moment needs very often.
Pe I am mapping recently hiking routes where a lot of guideposts and informations boards ar placed along. To avoid all the scrolling forth to mark the last guidepost and scroll back to where I want to duplicate it, I'd like to have a corner where I could stick these objects.
IMO such a clipboard would allow a lot of users to work faster.

If you need some nodes very often creating presets entries would be better.

Still I abhore to click round on menus and select entries if instead I could do with marking and duplicating.

additionally: When I see how to create a preset at ​http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/TaggingPresets I don't really will enjoy doing so. Why can't it be as simple as duplicating existing objects?

Because it's not that simple. Best way to do this is to customize toolbar and add your beloved preset entries to it.
