Possibly a trivial question… Is there a plugin or script for adding one or more tags to a selection of lines? I have found Rob Trew’s script for batch deletion but no counterpart for adding. Thank you in advance.
If you simply need to add plain tags like @today, (without a value) then you could test the following draft.
( I have followed it with a newer batch tag-deletion script).
Let me know more, however, if you would like to batch-add @tag(value)
Draft script 1 of 2 (batch-adding tags)
// *ADD* ONE OR MORE TAGS TO SELECTED LINE(S)
// ver 0.01
//
// CHOOSE tag(s) from a sorted menu listing:
// 1. Any tags already found in the document
// 2. Any default tags specified at the end of this script

Very generous of you, @complexpoint, and customarily excellent. Thank you! This will do — I don’t need value tags right now.
