Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
Yes, you can copy and paste, but it is even easier to use the dropdown. It will automatically give options that match surrounding labels such as street name, city, state, zip, etc., and of course selecting and editing multiple buildings is relatively easy. (not sure if JOSM does this but the web editor does)
The part that is slowing me down is getting quickly from the "housenumber" field on one house to the "housenumber" field on the next house. It has to be done one at a time because they are unique - and typing is faster than copy/paste for this. At present, I am having to mouseover and click on each house and then re-select the housenumber field; trivial for a small number, but adds up when repeated 100s or 1000s of times.
Have you seen the HouseNumberTaggingTool for JOSM? It looks like it might be what you're looking for. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good :)

Yes, another user shared that as well, and it has been a great time saver. Thanks!
