[digiKam-users] DigiKam efficient (keyboard) tagging

[Peter Albrecht]

Hello list,

back in 2012 I have found a great way of efficient tagging photos in digiKam and
wrote this article:
https://www.digikam.org/news/2012-01-21_Efficient_photo_tagging_with_digikam/

The tagging was:
  * typing a few letters of your tag
  * use the tab key for autocompletion

This worked well in digiKam 4.4.0. But now with digiKam 5.3.0 (Debian Stretch)
this workflow does not work anymore. The TAB key moves the input focus from the
tag input field to the next dialog control.

Does some know another way of efficient tagging in digiKam 5.3.0?
Is there an efficient way of tagging in digiKam 5.9.0?
How do you tag lots of photos fast?

Kind regards,
           Peter
