Edit > Paste

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+V

Paste the contents of the clipboard,
at the mouse pointer position into the active data layer:

• all nodes and parent objects will be preserved as they were selected (relative position is kept)
• links in the data (node-way and way-relation, node-relation) will be respected but only if they were selected; cloned objects will have (new) links similar to copied objects
