org-tags-column usually does the right thing. i have it set to -65 and that works great in portrait mode. i'd like it be sticky (sometimes), that is, to chop of and dominate headlines and never get moved. i'd like it to be width rather than position based so that it works with chinese and proportional fonts also. and i'd like to specify its position from the rh instead of the left hand side so it'll just work on ssh/tablet or landscape/notebook. the more generic problem is of course that i'd like to code in http://input.fontbureau.com/info/ and that my favorite editor does not support width based tabs or keeping same line comments vertically aligned. its a bit overwhelming for me to do, does anyone have a tip/snippet/link or a fix on how to teach the tags these tricks? is this in fact a bug?? thanks for pondering! m
