Ok, I think we can go for Alt-[1,..,9] for selecting specific
tags, and Alt-Shift-[1,..,9] for tagging.

Having all tags in the bar should be ok.

You could still achive this with tag labels in the bar to click
them. If you know your tags you can even script next/prev
mechanism.

I think the way to go is, to destroy an empty ws only if another
