Enhanced Tag Entry

[lehitoskin]

I've been toying with the idea of enabling users to have tags that include commas. This is not an uncommon problem I've encountered, so I feel this is worth considering. After giving much thought to the subject, the solution I've come up with is to move tag entry from the text-field% to a separate window. This window would be a simple editor-canvas% where tags are delimited by newlines instead of commas or spaces. I am uncertain about the appearance or placement.

Pop-up, maybe? Any loss of focus would hide it, and anything that would currently give focus to the tags tfield would pop the editor.

That sounds like a good idea. The tfield could still show a comma-separated list, but any time it's focused will bring up the pop-up editor.

Maybe launch it over the top-left corner of the canvas, and let the user move it wherever else, if they want? Or top-right; I'm not dogmatic.
