Hashtags - Feature to permanent "Color hashtags"

[nhwCoder]

New Feature/Solution

Propose a feature to be able to permanent "Color hashtags".
Colored hashtags in the page would help a lot to see immediately which parts have been tagged and for what reason (see attached screenshot (1) versus (2) ).

Additional Context

Text-color vs. background-color

I think to set the text color is better (compared to background color).
Like in screenshot with number (2), so that you can see your defined ##hashtags in color immediately.

UI options

1. MAYBE even one control called "Color hashtags" with a color picker in the current UI would be sufficient to change all ##hashtag colors.
2. Or put it in the "..." menu (top right-side).
3. Or a new menu entry "Color hashtags" with a color-picker to choose one color or no color (none).

Scope

Since you have all ##hashtags in SqlLite I would propose to always change all ##hashtags if someone changes the color.
Maybe with the choice for page/section/notebook/all notebooks

Keyboard shortcut

Very important: Adding a keyboard shortcut.

Use case: User adds a new ##hashtag and then presses the keyboard shortcut to have the ##hashtags colored.
Tricky: Maybe to have one keyboard shortcut for "page" (faster and sufficient in this case) and another for "all notebooks".

• Highlight should be to the text and not the background for aesthetic reasons
• Obsidian just auto sets the tag to a default color, this works pretty well I think (user can define that color)
  • user shouldn't be required to set the color after creating the hashtag, it should be automatically colored (optional)

Added user setting to choose preferred hashtag styling

• None (will not remove styling from stylized hashtags because that may have been done manually)
• Red foregound
• Yellow background
• Or any of your user-defined custom styles of type Character

These styles are applied to new hashtags as they are discovered by the background scanner or the on-demand menu item.
