Hi all,
I am just wondering if there 's a way to define two characters (rather
than one) for the fast tag selection.
Here's what I did:
(setq org-tag-alist '(("HOME" . ?h)
("FAMILY" . "fa")
("MONEY" . "mo")
("BILLS" . "bi")))
So HOME can be inserted using an 'h', but FAMILY using 'fa'. I 'm trying
to do this coz I have way too many tags that start with the same letter,
so multiple characters are more intuitive.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Varnit

The current implementation of tag selection works well with a small
number of tags. I have 6 tags myself.
How many tags do you use? Remember you don't need to use the characters
in the tag string. For example you can assign 0-9 for the most used
ones.
Another solution is to reimplement this using ido i.e. it requires users
to type the whole string but uses ido to narrow down the selection
quickly.
