JOSM QuickLabel Plugin

QuickLabel displays specified tags as labels next to map objects.

It’s ideal for mappers who want quick visual feedback for quality checks, tagging consistency, or data completeness.

日本語

After installation, you can open the label customization dialog via View > QuickLabel or the default shortcut Command+Shift+L. You can assign a different shortcut in the JOSM preferences.

Note: In early versions, the menu was located under Data.

Basic usage

You can set "main" and "sub" tags. You can specify multiple tags by entering them on separate lines, in order of descending priority.

Your customization is applied by clicking "Apply" button. It may take a few seconds for custom labels to appear. You can switch to JOSM's usual mode by clicking "Reset" button.

Formatted labels

Tags placed between curly braces ("{" and "}") are replaced with values of corresponding tags.

Examples

• If a line {level}F is applied to an object with level=3 tag, its label will be 3F.
• If a line s={smoking} w={wheelchair} is applied to a restaurants with wheelchair=yes, smoking=no tags, its label will be s=no w=yes.
• If a line {fire_hydrant:type}/{ref} is applied to a fire hydrant with fire_hydrang:type=underground, ref=221-14 tags, its label will be underground/221-14.
• A line like "{fire_hydrant:type}/{ref}" will not match an object that has a "fire_hydrant:type" tag but no "ref" tag.
