Tag insertion

I use a route that appends to my daily journal note with a horizontal line after each entry. I like to add Obsidian tags at the top of each entry like #health or #ideas to classify captures so I can search and filter my journal later.

I often use voice input to capture notes, but tags still need to be typed manually every single time. This breaks the flow completely. It is repetitive and error-prone on mobile, as a typo means the tag won't match in Obsidian. The existing H toolbar button is almost what I need, but it inserts a trailing space after # which creates a markdown heading instead of a tag.

The simplest fix would be a toolbar button that inserts # without a trailing space.


As a first nice to have, pressing it could show a searchable list of previously used tags so I can tap a tag instead of typing it, making repeated tagging fast and consistent.

As a second nice to have, since tags are one of the core ways to organize and navigate notes in Obsidian, it would be great to have proper tag management: pinned tags always appearing at the top of the list, the rest sorted by frequency of use, and a settings screen to add, edit, pin and delete tags. This would make Quick Draft a first-class citizen in tag-heavy Obsidian workflows.

As a note, my current workaround is to create a separate route for each tag, where the template wraps the content with the relevant tag at the top. This works but causes the number of routes to explode quickly, mixing the concept of routing to a destination with the concept of tagging content.
