I have been adding some postboxes lately and I like how JOSM learns the keys and values that I enter. e.g. post_box:type=pillar,lamp,etc., royal_cypher=VR, EIIR, etc,. After entering a few, it is easy to pick the right tag from the drop down list. However, next time I start up JOSM, it has forgotten all the tags that I entered last time and I need to start again with the less common ones. Can I make JOSM store these values? asked 15 Nov '15, 22:51  Hobgoblin closed 03 Dec '15, 20:33 |

While Simon's idea to use custom presets is perhaps the best way to enhance your JOSM experiences, it might be a bit intimidating. But you can remember the keys over a restart. See the instructions on the Add Value Dialog. Right-click on the dialog and check the "Remember last used tags" flag. p.s. I can't remember I did it like this, I probably switched one of the variables in the settings pane under preferences by hand. answered 16 Nov '15, 09:46  escada edited 16 Nov '15, 09:48 |
You can simply create a preset for the specific tags if none already exists, see: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Customising_JOSM_Presets and answered 15 Nov '15, 23:17  SimonPoole ♦ edited 15 Nov '15, 23:18 |
Yet another option (not exactly using JOSM) - key value pairs. Save required tags and their values in a text file as follows: When you want to apply one of these tags, copy them and paste into the POI using the shortcut ctrl+shift+v answered 16 Nov '15, 18:18  BlueTiger edited 16 Nov '15, 18:19 |
