Thx so much guys for the great answers

Kaushal Modi: cousel-org-tag is fantastic and works very well for me

John: i did try helm with (mapcar 'car 'org-tag-persistent-alist ) but it
gave me an error:

cons: Wrong type argument: sequencep, org-tag-persistent-alist


the code i used:

(defun helm-tagger ()
  (interactive)
  (helm
   :sources
   `((name . "HELM tag setter")
     (candidates . ,(mapcar 'car 'org-tag-persistent-alist ))
     (action . (lambda (candidate)
                 (org-set-tags-to (helm-marked-candidates)))))))


to be honest cousel-org-tag works really well but if anyone else is
interested in the helm part ive posted the error

kind regards

Z
