@Rumo We already expose the full names in the editor tag field, so I’m not sure we’re saving the user from much complexity in this case, and it means we’re making things less flexible for power users. I’m not really fond of the idea of adding another option either, but maybe it’s worth considering changing the current behaviour to show the full name instead? Presumably Qt will show it scrolled to the right, so the part users likely want to change should be in view. ---

We’re currently using `QAbstractItemView.edit()` which doesn’t allow for setting a custom text. I assume that writing our own inline editor wouldn’t be trivial. Of course, we could go back to opening a separate dialogue, but I find that cumbersome, and it would be redundant for saved searches, where the node text is already the full name. Also, users who’ve never used hierarchical tags, but want to edit imported ones, can easily destroy the hierarchy if they’re prompted to enter a new _full_ name, because they could reasonably assume that they are only going to replace the name of the _node_, which they have right-clicked. ---

Beta 4 is now available. @basiskarten sorry, I meant to reply earlier. You make a decent argument for it, and if Anki already stored a permanent position for each card, I would probably add it. But unfortunately we’re limited to card creation order at the moment, and users need to rewrite their card ids+do a full sync when the order is incorrect. I’d prefer not to encourage that, so it’s probably best to wait until Anki adds a permanent ordering in some future update. @Rumo hmm, good points too. So I guess we’re left with either leaving things as they are, or adding a separate context item like “rename full tag?” @cso it’s good forum etiquette to post the solution when you discover it - I presume in this case you had some add-on causing the problem. ---

Well, Find & Replace already facilitates this. What about making it more user-friendly by adding tag completers when the dropdown menu is set to Tags, and maybe presetting the name of the current tag if there is one? ---

These are nice ideas. However, I believe Find & Replace is an underused feature, mainly because it’s hidden up there in the notes menu. Also, I don’t think many people will know that replacing tags is supported. Perhaps one could swap it with the redundant (at least in search mode) Search entry in this context menu, giving it a bit more prominence and also indicating that it can be used with tags now: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/b/b00a68f687bcc1e06db2e764f3d375818120d22a.png) * * * I’m thinking of an addition to [\_maybe\_add\_search\_actions](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/90fdcebcc85ce261ea29ba54dd449a464d70ad45/qt/aqt/browser/sidebar/tree.py#L880), that would add a context menu entry in the same category as Search (or replace it) and enable direct access to a prefilled Find & Replace dialog for the selected item. That would make sense for the following item types: - `SidebarItemType.TAG` – prefill → Find: `selected::tag` – select → In: `Tags` - `SidebarItemType.NOTETYPE_FIELD` (PR [#1238](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/1238)) – select → In: `selectedField` ---

> [@kleinerpirat](#): > > add a context menu entry in the same category as Search (or replace it) and enable direct access to a prefilled Find & Replace dialog for the selected item. Sounds good to me. But wouldn’t the “editing” section be more appropriate? I’d prefer to keep Search, because it’s the only context action for some items, you can have a multi-selection in search mode, and it might be unnecessarily confusing to condition the available actions on the mode as well. ---

The fancy html editor that @hengiesel added doesn’t work with Customize Keyboard Shortcuts toggled on as well. This was not an issue in beta3 so I’m not sure what’s going on. I can’t get any actual errors, it just reverts to the old html editor. @dae do you have any idea what’s causing this? If its something on your end to fix, great, but if not I can let the author know (they’re usually pretty responsive to version updates but it’d be best to let them know exactly what’s going on) ---

This needs to be done by the add-on author. The code for the old HTML editor is still there (exactly because we don’t want to break add-ons), so this is not surprising. ---

If you notice any other “no attribute” issues apart from flushSched, please let me know. Edit: having looking into it further, I think in this case it’s best that the the add-ons be updated. The add-ons are overriding a method that is no longer used by Anki, so that functionality won’t have been working in previous stable releases either, even though no error was reported. ---

I think you’ll get used to it quickly 🙂 The upside is you can now share (almost) all your options with one screenshot. Also, you can still reduce the window width so it only shows one column. * * * My two cents is it makes it less confusing, because now you have a better overview. #### Column-rule If the main problem is the content flow from top to bottom instead of left to right, a vertical separator like this could help: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/5/54648231418bc6753b6771cef6ed0743d757dd7d.png) That would be a one-line CSS addition: ```auto column-rule: 1px solid var(--medium-border); ``` [Previous page](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki-2-1-45-beta/10664.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki-2-1-45-beta/10664.md?page=5)
