Laverna: About Tags

Thanks. You are able to attach a tag to a note by adding @ symbol before any word and it will be attached as a tag. If a tag doesn't exist, it will be created. For example, if you write @tagName, tag tagName will be created and attached to a note.

I like the ability to automatically add tags by preceding key words with the @ symbol, but it would be even nicer if tags could be assigned to notes without having to tag specific words within the note itself.

If I create a note that is just a bunch of code, it's not really possible to start throwing the @ symbol around. Sure I could just add a bunch of keywords at the bottom of the note outside the code block, but that's kind of tedious and it would make the note look more cluttered.

I would like it if the current tagging implementation was retained but if the ability to assign tags to notes without using the @ symbol was implemented in addition to this. Tags assigned to notes without the @ symbol could then be displayed just right of the note title.

Note to fellow Googlers looking for this feature: as https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/issues/211 indicates, this feature is temporarily now using the # prefix, instead of @.

in addition to the request from @Poorchop, it would also be nice to be able to have tags in the note title -- this doesn't seem to work atm

is there a way to scape tags? per example what if i want to use the char # for numbers instead of tags?
