Most companies who go through markdown don’t offer a comprehensive tag management. You can add tags this #way and keep tagging. But it is not about tagging, in the end it is about finding.

I found I have to weed out my tags from time to time: Some were never used again, there are synonyms, there are typos, some need to be split to work, you name it.

This is only possible with a tag management option, like the one EN offers. And this in turn is based on having the tags in a section of the EN database, not only as free floating #markdown text.

You are totally right, I agree if you are not consistent with the choice of your tags you end up with a lot of gibberish that doesn't help at all. Also have to agree the tag management option is perfect good solution for a lot of people, one thing I disagree though is that the the only way to do this is through a tag management. Some people just like to make it simple, uses just a few tag names and would like just to have the best possible way to add then, mixed with their text, use then as anchors. I understand this is a matter of preferences, but still, as a user, what I feel is EN lets me down in this issue.

There are so many ways of adding a tag to a note it is difficult to know what you have tried and find cumbersome especially as I don't even know what version you are using. Limiting my response to keyboard only methods for the desktop version (Windows but easily translatable o mac):

Bottom tag area. F3 and then type the tag. Typing letters bring up the tags beginning with those letter. Arrow keys to move between them. Enter to select

Edit tags menu: alt-ctrl-T. You can either search for tags (now you get all the tags containing the characters not just those beginning with the characters). Cycle through them using the arrow keys, press space bar to select. Home and then up arrow to go back to the search input field (a single key for this would be helpful). Enter to close the window. I would personally like some more cutomisation of this menu - particularly the ability to have an alphabetical list as well as the hierarchty list although I suppose you could argue you already have that in F3.

I really appreciate your help and support, I think your solution is valid and probably will help most people interested in this topic.

I my humble opinion I still think it is too many actions just to add a tag. In Mac it is shift-ctrl-alt + T, then it opens a pop up(!) then you search/add a tag in this pop up. I am an r programmer. It is not possible to create, in this way, an "r" tag, it is simple not allowed.

Markdown would be a perfect solution for this, #r ou #anyOtherTag. So many softwares support this... I find it frustrating that Evernote doesn't. I am a costumer for many years and I feel a little bit left out. I think Evernote has the best search, and in terms of storage is also the best option, but the way it handles text seems to me outdated.

Hi, for an app that prizes the use of tags it is surprising cumbersome to add a new tag to a note, especially if you, like me, prefer the use of a keyboard instead of using the mouse.

Also, tags in evernote live in a line, while I would like to use them as anchors in the text (one could keep them in the list and also in the tags list). Other apps that use markdown have solved this issue using #s, if It is a simple hashtag followed by a space is a title, hashtag without space is a tag.

Anyone know a way around this?
