That is a great idea! For more complicated tag combinations, I also use Ctrl-c / Ctrl-Shift-V to transfer them from one object to another. But it's not possible to keep more than one combination at a time in the clipboard, so presets which don't require confirmation that are accessible from the toolbar are a lot more practical indeed.
