[[JOSMImage(copy,link=,48,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **`Ctrl+C`**

**Copy the currently selected [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] into the clipboard,** \\
replacing any previous content.

Depending where the content of the buffer is pasted you get different results:
* JOSM mapview: a copy of the objects as new objects are added to the layer
* Other dialogs and programs: the objects' types together with the objects' ids are pasted
