default tag sets

[jezevec]

Think this will be helpful

Say we have user def tag sets, which I can save, and I can set them default for new node/way/area/relation. Then when I make new object, josm fill them with active default tag set(s) for object of that type.

Can be with variant defined hotkey on tag set - then josm update/insert defined tags on selected object(s).

Tag sets can be modified with same dialogs as tags on nodes/ways/.... Tag set can be saved from selected object (some buton "save as tag set") with some dialog for default object (checkbox), name, hotkey and maybe priority.

When I have more then one tag set for one object type as default, then josm use all tags, and if there are same tags in tag sets, use priority.

This is for situations when someone make many similar/same objects (buildins, city ways ...).

Alternatively, create the objects. perform a search like new type:way closed tags:0 and add the corresponding tags.

The main problem of auto-filling tags is possible errors in tags added by accident (drawing highway after building etc.)

You can also try Shift-R in Utilsplugin2. You can also try copy-pasting tags (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Shift-V, Copy All tags in properties table context menu, Ctrl-T for pasting tags form text in Utilsplugin2), advices and request are welcome in #8384, #8412, #4828.

Proposed tag-sets reminds presets, creating one more duplicate mechanism (maybe, even more convenient) is not obvious (maybe plugin?)
There are long-lived issues in presets system: Currently it is impossible to create shortcuts for presets #3484
and to add "custom presets" them conveniently.

Ticket #4514 has been marked as a duplicate of this ticket.

I think this need is fulfilled by the plugin easypresets and the current preset shortcut key handling.
