I would say, this bug is fixed in digikam 2.5.0. I guess it has been fixed way
earlier, but I don't know exactly at which version.

See also: bug #114465

My way of mouse-less tagging:
  1 select an album
  2 switch to "view image"-view (the bigger the picture, the better you can
recognize the people, 
    you want to tag)
  3 switch the right sideview to "Caption/Tags" and select tab "Tags"
  4 click in the uppermost input box, which shows the text: "Enter new tag
here..."
  5 look for the leftmost person, you have not tagged yet
  6 start typing a few letters of the desired tagname (You have to start with
the first letters in your
    tag name. There is no "mid word matching".)
    -> you will see a list of possible tags appear that shrinks with every
letter you add to the input box
  7 if the list is reduced enough, use TAB to select the desired tag from this
list
  8 hit ENTER to assign this tag to your picture
  9 if there are more persons, you want to tag, go to step 5 again
 10 if all persons on this image have been tagged, hit PAGE_DOWN to go to the
next image and 
    resume with step 5

This works great! Thanks a lot, dear developers!
I have 206 different tags in multilevel-hierarchical order. No Problem with
those:
As long as the tagname is unique, the autocompletion-suggestion-list does only
show the last nodes in the tag tree. Having two identical tags at different
branches in the tree, the branch is also shown with them.


"High-level-wish": The list of autocomplete suggestions (accessible via
TAB-key) seems to be sorted alphabetically. 
It would be a bit more useful to sort "last used first" or "most often used
first". But I don't know if this can be easily added to the QT-Control.
The top listed elements will need less TAB-key presses to reach. => Faster
tagging.

Aabout "last used first": When tagging my aunt's birthday party. Chances are
very high, that I need the tag "Aunt Hilda" again, after assigning it to
picture one. But I don't know, if digikam stores a "last used date" in the
database. So this would mean quite some work.

About "most often used first": Chances are very high that I need certain tags,
which I used a lot, with new pictures, too. E.g. my daughter's tag (used 3000
times) should be listed above aunt Hilda's tag (used 50 times), both starting
with "H...".

But these are "high level wishes". I'm totaly happy with the current
implementation. It's just a suggestion to make tagging a little tiny bit
better. ;)
