Description

Add Recent Tags

Use Case

I add notes on a per-chapter basis, in chunks based on each topic within the chapter, so I wanted a tool to quickly add that chapter tag to each chunk as I added it. Scrolling down in the sidebar, right-clicking, and clicking 'Add tag to selected notes' is fine, but I can go even faster with this tool. Save your precious study time, don't be procrastinating via post-processing.

Features

  • Quick Access to Recent Tags: Displays the 5 most recently used tags from your newest notes
  • Modify Before Adding: Edit any tag before adding it to your notes

Usage

Right-click to access "Add Recent Tags" from:

  1. Browser: Right-click on selected card(s) in the card list
  2. Editor: Right-click in the editor sidebar
  3. Reviewer: Right-click on the card display area OR click the "More" button (⋮)

Adding Tags

  1. Click "Add Recent Tags" from the context menu
  2. A dialog appears showing your 5 most recent tags
  3. Click a tag button to toggle selection (turns green when selected)
  4. Click "Modify" next to any tag to edit it:
    • The tag button becomes an editable text field
    • Modify the tag text as desired
    • Press Enter, click outside, or click "OK" to finish editing
    • The modified tag is automatically selected (green)
  5. Click the main OK button to add all selected tags to your note(s)

Configuration
