Small annoying bug in text pane and tag pane

Hi,

because of the tag bug, I'm adding them together when all flashcards are finished, by copy pasting them in each flashcard.
Now, the annoying thing is that when I click in the tag pane in order to paste the tag, Studies automatically makes the cursor jump to the text pane in the note, so pasting the tag there. I actually have to click twice in the tag pane in order to be able to paste the tag there (see joined .mov).

So, if this could be corrected : when I click in the tag field, it really means I want to work in the tag field, not anywhere else by default...

    Very difficult to 'fix' that, because what you want is what most people would not want. When you go to a new card, you usually want to start editing in the first field, and close down editing of where you were in the last card.

    Maybe we can make an exception if the tags field happens to be selected. I'll think about that.

    But it sounds like what you would really need is bulk tagging, which is a feature we have been thinking about for a while.

    => that's reasonable indeed.

    => That's indeed what I had in mind. By default, one could keep the editing field, being the most plausible one being needed. Once the users prompts the app otherwise, manually selecting the tag field (meaning that's where he wants to edit), the app ought simply to acknowledge that by not automatically jumping back to the default editing field.

    => that would be a useful option, indeed.
