hello list I'm crafting a patch here since I use a lot of tag rules but I'm too lazy to always switch tags. Maybe it's just another silly idea to automatically switch tags when rules apply. Currently it works, but I plan on extending this feature so that the new behavior can be switched on and off, and maybe it should even be indicated on the bar.
cheers! mar77i
