Thanks - I now understand better.

You may want to hack something together based on this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(replace-regexp-in-string "::+" ":" (mapconcat (lambda(s) (if (stringp (car s)) 
(car s))) org-tag-alist ":"))
#+end_src

There are no headlines in the file (it's a small note). I want to tag
the file itself (or its content). It's mostly to help with full-text
search (I prefix my tags with '#' so they don't occur otherwise). I
think the notion of file tag does not really exist in org mode, but as
there is a '+#FILETAGS:' cookie (?), I was wondering if there was
infrastructure to help me enter the tags there.

Thank you. This is not what I want to do, but it's nice to know how to
do this.

I'm not entirely sure: you want to tag all headline in a file with
multiple pre-defined tags?

With `org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region' set to `t', you can
tag multiple headlines by selecting a region with the headlines you
want to tag, then C-c C-q to tag them one after another.

You cannot add multiple tags for each headline this way, though.

I would go for defining a temporary local tag like "replaceme" to
tag multiple (all) headline in the file, then simpy search/replace
occurrences of "replaceme" with your:list:of:tags

HTH,

automatic completion of file tags

2020-01-23 Thread Alan Schmitt
Hello,

I'm playing with an implementation of Zettelkasten using deft and org
files, and I want to tag each note with some tags taken from a list (I'm
using the ~#FILETAGS:~ line for that at the moment). Is there a builtin
org way of doing it (have a list of tags defined somewhere and tag a
whole file with them using some completion mechanism, as for headlines),
or do I need to roll up my own?

Thanks,

Alan
