Keyboard shortcut for "Copy Tags to Clipboard"?

Does anyone know if there are keyboard shortcuts for "Copy Tags to Clipboard" and "Add Tags from Clipboard", or a way to create custom shortcuts for these? I use these functions constantly and using the context menu is much slower than the keyboard would be.

Use scripts for User Defined Commands and assign them a keyboard shortcut

Copy tags to clipboard:
copytext replace(tagitems("tags", , , 1), "|", ",");

Add Tags from Clipboard:
tagitems("tags", <clp>);

Thank you so much. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I thought I was supposed to get an email when my post had been approved. Would you be able to point me to where I might have found this information on my own?

All you taggers out there: "Copy Tags to Clipboard" and "Paste Tags from Clipboard" as built-in menu commands seem pretty useful, don't they?

Sorry, I'm still pretty new. Could you please clarify what is meant by a built-in menu command? I know these commands are accessible in the context menu when right clicking on the tags column, but I'm guessing you may be referring to the fact that they seem to be absent from the main menus and don't seem to be available anywhere else unless you script them as above?

Thanks again, I somehow did not realize that was there in the help file.
