Stop... (:=)))

This entry is full of ideas but not very constructive as well. For a developper, it's very difficult to handle all entries it and make the best solution for all.

To resume: a lots of ideas here are posted at the wrong place. 
For ex. using Keyboard shortcut ==> http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149007.
And there are certainly others one.

I will be more explicit here. The real subject of this file is "_Simpler_ entry of tags". For me make an a tag entry is to create new tags, not to assign already existing one. This is completly different, and here shortcuts for tags will be the ultimate solution.

To make a simpler entry of tags (as Create New Tag), i propose to patch 2 parts in digiKam to provide the same entry logic : 

1/ Create New Tag dialog.
2/ Captions & Tags right sidebar.

For 1/, in "Title" field, i propose to use "/" as separator to create new hierarchy from current selected tag:

"France/City/Paris"

If you use "/" in first, hierarchy is created from root tag album.

This is want mean than "/London" is a simple new tag created from root tag album.

For 2/, we have already the search text field in Caption & Tags side bar. I propose to add a new bi-states button just on the left side to toggle text field as:

- Search text engine (working like current implementation).
- Create new tag entry (using the same logic than for Create New Tag dialog)

What do you think about ?
