I want better support for tags

[matthewwong525]

What is wanted now:

USE CONTEXTMENUS that was just released in flutter 3.7

• autocomplete for tags when you type # (no spaces & just like obsidian)
  • use link_suggestions.dart probably rename it to suggestions (also probably rename it to be more generic F2 hotkey)
  • In content_field.dart:
    • showTitleLinksOverlay is the function that displays the LinkSuggestion
    • _onContentChange triggers the above function and isTitleLinksVisible is the function that determines if we should show the LinkSuggestion
• tags are greyed out (like how links have the blue colour)
  • in note_editor.dart search StyleableTextFieldController

use the tag regex in obsidian plugin code!

DONT DO THIS

• loop thru every single note to find all the tags using regex! DONT DO THIS! Store a local storage (use HiveDB) I want better search performance #190
  • every time u save a note, it'll update the local storage with key = note_id, value is { tags: [String...], links: [String...] }
  • Just do the above and create a function in database.dart called findAllTags. I'm thinking of changing from HiveDB to Isar Database for better query management when working locally

How would this be implemented

• look at how the links are implemented and try to do the same thing!
• TODO: add more instructions (for matt or maybe john is smart boi)

What is potentially wanted for the future

• tags will have a different shade in the text field like a light grey colour (tags won't have spaces)
• tags will also have autocomplete suggestions (see title_links.dart)
• when someone adds "#tag1 #tag2" the query will know to search for tags. The user can add any text around or between the tag and it'll basically ignore the #tags (also when searching tags, order SHOULD NOT matter)
• when someone clicks on a tag, it will update the search on the side

E.g.
"Hello #tag1 I am #tag2" =
"Hello I am" + filter for #tag1 and #tag2

How i'd implement is I would adjust the getSearchNotes function. When the string is passed into the function, I will use regex to find & remove all the #tags into a list then loop thru all notes (using regex again) to find notes that contain all the tags.

First just start with changing the text colour of tags to grey and have autocomplete tags when they type #.
