As a result of the 40 variables thread and assorted worg tutorials,
I'm getting a little carried away with customising my workflow.
Consequently, my tag list have grown to the extent that the fast tags
selection interface is looking rather messy.
The small patch below adds the capability to create arbitrary new
lines, either by adding "\n" (backslash n, not a newline!) to your #
+TAGS: or by adding "(:newline . nil)" to org-tag-alist.
So I can have something like:
-----
[a] @assorted [g] @gtd [c] @contexts
[o] other [r] relevant [t] tags
[m] more [f] for [d] different [p] projects
-----
The patch is a very hacky cut and paste job with little understanding
of the surrounding code, but I don't seem to have broken anything in
my setup yet...
Best wishes,
Christopher

I am not convinced that this helps a lot. Do ou really think
it is much better?
The patch looks good and complete! Do you have a copyright
assignment with the FSF? Not absolutely necessary for
this small a patch, but still...

It's a tiny thing; my tags setup had got messy so I added it! I don't
think it's much better, but it works for my situation (perhaps I
should change my workflow than the tool...)

Assignment form requested...

Hi Carsten,
Unfortunately, my patch was a bit crude and caused some rather
unpredictable formatting.
Here's an improvement which fixes that; I had forgotten to reset cnt
to 0 whenever a new line occurred, so all sorts of strange line breaks
were happening.
I've also added a new variable, org-tag-persistent-alist, which is a
list of tags that will always appear in all Org-mode files, in
addition to any in buffer settings or customizations of org-tag-alist.
As with line breaks, this may be a tiny personal convenience (I store
all my GTD contexts in them so I don't have to re-enter them in every
new org file), but in case anyone else finds it useful...
Best wishes,
Christopher
