Complete Guide to Tag Management in AegisClip

Effective tag management is the key to unlocking AegisClip's full potential. This comprehensive guide will teach you everything you need to know about creating, organizing, and using tags to streamline your workflow.

Why Tags Matter

Tags transform your clipboard from a simple storage tool into an intelligent organization system. They help you:

• Find content quickly - Locate specific items in seconds

• Group related items - Organize by project, topic, or context

• Filter efficiently - Show only what you need, when you need it

• Maintain organization - Keep your clipboard clutter-free

Basic Tag Creation

Creating Your First Tag

1. Copy content to your clipboard

2. Press ⌘T to open the tag panel

3. Type a tag name (e.g., "work", "ideas", "code")

4. Press Enter to apply the tag

Tag Naming Best Practices

• Keep it simple - Use short, memorable names

• Be consistent - Follow your own naming conventions

• Use lowercase - Avoid spaces and special characters

• Make it searchable - Choose names you'll remember

Tag Organization Strategies

Simple Flat Structure

Start with basic categories:

• work - All work-related content

• personal - Personal notes and ideas

• reference - Information you need to keep

• temporary - Items for short-term use

Hierarchical Organization

Create logical tag hierarchies:

Work Projects:

• work - All work-related content

• work/client-a - Client A projects
• work/client-a/website - Website development
• work/client-a/branding - Branding materials

• work/client-b - Client B projects
• work/client-b/mobile-app - Mobile application

Cross-Reference Tags

Use multiple tags for complex organization:

• react frontend javascript - React-specific frontend code

• urgent work client-a - Urgent work for specific client

• reference design color-palette - Design reference material

Smart Tag Combinations

Combine tags for powerful filtering:

• work + urgent = All urgent work items

• code + react = All React code snippets

• reference + design = All design references
