jtxBoard is perfect to create new tasks from links or social media messages and capture ideas that way. jtxBoard automatically sets tags based on any hashtag in the contents of the task. For URLs with anchor links this sets the anchor as a tag. For social media messages with social media tags, this sets the tags as task tags. The automatic creation of tags is a nice feature, but in practice clutters up my list of tags. I often find the #t tag from YouTube videos I linked and find many social media tags from Mastodon post I shared. To keep my task list in order, I have to remove the tags while creating of afterwards.
Describe the solution you'd like
A setting to disable the automatic tag creation in the creation process. That should result in hashtags being ignored completely. The user can still set tags after the creation of the task.
The default of automatic detection can stay as it will probably be a good fit for many people.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative could be to only match with existing tags, assuming that the user is only using a curated set of tags. This will however increase complexity in the code, so a complete disabling of the detection seems a better trade-off of usability vs code maintainability.
Additional context
None.
