I don't remember what level gets access to what, but I know that I have access to, from the posting index, various mods, including "edit post". This is very helpful.

Requested feature overview description.

I would like it if, when you enter into 'edit post' mode and click on an image, your quick tags would appear beside or below the editing box.

Why would it be useful?

It would allow for much faster tagging, allowing users to more quickly add basic tags to numerous posts.

(For example: solo, duo, group, zero_pictured. Or male, female, cuntboy, dickgirl, herm, maleherm, ambiguous_gender. Or a glorious array of every single piece of clothing we tag for. Or... or.. or..)

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

The Post index, while in edit post mode.

Don't forget to put the quick tags in columns rather than 1 large column.

Put it in a box under the edit box, 200 height or something with scrollbar, with 3-4 columns.

I have this custom CSS for post pages:

.tag-column:first-child {
height: auto !important; max-width: 45em !important;
column-count: 4 !important; -moz-column-count: 4 !important; -webkit-column-count: 4 !important;
column-gap: 10px !important; -moz-column-gap: 10px !important; -webkit-column-gap: 10px !important;
}

Not a particular fan of the 'click on things' approach to tagging (ie. qtags as they are per se), although for mobile it makes sense.
+1 because having to click on things to quickly apply tags is better than just not being able to quickly apply tags, whether you are in Edit mode or viewing a post.

I'd like to propose an alternate interface, at least for laptop/desktop (ie. 'has proper keyboard') interaction: A single additional input box whose completion options are taken from your quicktags; Pressing Enter in this field should confirm the completion, add the completed tag to the tags field, and clear the input field ready for the next quicktagging -- rather than submitting changes, which is the default action for the form).

I have no idea what level of technical difficulty would be involved in that, but I thought I should mention the idea, since it would be of small enough screen size that it could be included anywhere.

Edit: this seems to have some of the technical details.

I like it for tasks that are "X or Y or Z" rather than "does Y apply to this picture" -- where copy and paste can work much better. It's also nice to have a quick visual checklist. :)

At one point, I had a list of ponies with their common features--wings, pegasus, blue_fur, rainbow_hair, etc. :) Made it very easy for that kind of thing too. I recently tagged a bunch of astrology related posts, and had the 3-dozen or so commonly used tags available for me to click on. did most of it via typing, but Sagittarius is a pain to spell right ;)

Some time ago, I made a greasemonkey script that checks existing tags and suggests new ones based on what's already tagged and what related tags might be missing.

Like this.

Things like that are pretty handy. It's such shitty code that I'd never release it publicly, though. Wrote it without knowing any javascript at all. Just seconding that things like that can be done pretty easily, even if the feature doesn't get added.

I think I have this in a branch but never made a pull request for.
I'll see if I can get the VM to boot and check.

Gosh, that is delightful! I know you said you wouldn't release it publicly, but if a copy happened to make it's way into my inbox, it'd be a lovely Christmas present ;)

I used to have a greasemonkey script that, as I recall, would present a list of pre-defined tags on, I think, the 'upload' and 'post' page... but it slowed stuff down a looooot. Maybe I still have it kicking around somewhere... Still, it didn't do it on the post index where I was talking about. Also, it's 6 or 7 years old c_c I'm pretty sure it doesn't work.

Maybe I should look into making my own javascript stuff, but, man..I'm really not technically minded like that. c_c

You said words I didn't understand, but those sound like awesome words. :D
