To set context, the readme file for bookmarks+ says:
1. From the bookmark list (`C-x r l'):
Use `?' to show the current bookmark-list status and general
help
While researching use of bookmark tags I noted that "?" used in this manner does not describe function "bmkp-copy-tags" or the key sequence that invokes it. The *Help* buffer resulting from "?" does include the lines
T > C-y - Add tags copied from a bookmark to those marked (`C-u': all)
T > q - Replace tags of marked with copied tags (`C-u': all)
which make it clear that there must be a command that copies bookmark tags.
This leads me to wonder if this omission is deliberate--for the sake of brevity?
The same can be said of other tag commands, which have the same key map prefix:
C-x p t V bmkp-set-tag-value-for-navlist
C-x p t c bmkp-copy-tags
C-x p t p bmkp-paste-add-tags
C-x p t q bmkp-paste-replace-tags
(taken from the 'describe-bindings *Help* buffer--but I've not attempted to make a complete list)
For reference, The Commentary file says:
There are many more keys and commands for editing bookmark tags.
You can copy tags (`C-x p t c') from one bookmark and paste them
to others, either replacing the original tags (`C-x p t C-y') or
adding to them (`C-x p t q').

Thanks for the report. I've updated the help (key `?'). You can download
the latest from Emacs Wiki now or wait (up to a day) for it to be available
on MELPA.
