'''Paste the [Concepts/Object#Tags tags (properties)] of the contents of the clipboard to the current selection.'''

* If the clipboard contains some JOSM objects copied by [Action/Copy Copy] ('''{{{Ctrl+C}}}'''), then the tags of these copied objects will be added to selected objects.
* If the buffer contains text, it will be parsed to find key-value pairs. (Since r5738)

=== Text formats ===
Supported text formats are:
* '''TAB-format''': key1`<tab>`value1`<line break>`key2`<tab>`value2`<line break>`
* '''A=B-format, copied by properties table''': key1=value key2="long value" tag3="hotel \"Quote\""
* '''JSON-like:''' { "a":"1", "b":"2" }
* '''Free format:''' a 1 b=2 c="hello world"

 See [attachment:ticket:8384:tags.txt tags.txt] for some more complex examples.
