Shouldn't GTK have some built-in support for tags, just like it has built-in support for choosing files, fonts, and colors? I'm just crabby because I also had to write my own tag support, but I don't have the energy to do all of this auto-completion magic. Hurray, another implementation of tagging.

If you have an idea, could you post a mockup? Hmmm, I see what you mean, I’m just not sure exactly where we could put it, there’s not a ton of real estate on those Tomboy Notes..

Personally, I find that I like being able to Ctrl+T upon opening a note to select the tagbar and open it...

Not a vital feature, though, and it doesn't seem worth the hassle. I disagree with Luis, and think it's important for the user to be able to close the tag bar, though it might make sense to default to having it open?

The biggest problem is defining a use case, for example, Clint's note on 'Tomboy' isn't the Wikipedia or Ubuntu page on Tomboy, where do we upload to?

I can see my list of tags becoming extremely long. Maybe a tag cloud with the most used at the top and others further down? Searchability, notwithstanding, this is an awesome feature for tomboy. Now only if we can get wiki integration :) Cheers, Clint Would it also be nice to have the ability to search for a particular tag? I can see my list of tags becoming extremely long.

[Also, I haven't seen either of the two previous iterations, so hard to compare.] Looks solid to me, though I’d suggest leaving it up all the time (if the plugin is activated) instead of requiring it be open/closed.
