And, like you, I hate typing more than I have to. What happens with a decent UI is I type a couple of letters and the editor narrows down the list of choices in the drop-down to match what I've typed, I can then scroll through a small number of items with the arrow key and use tab to select the correct one. All done through the keyboard. Except when there's a really long list because the key or value has been flattened to the point of being severely overloaded. I remain unconvinced that your preferences for tagging would actually make anybody's life easier. Not even your own. -- Paul
