[WIP] Slightly automated tagging for new Tasks - #1836

@caemor Thanks for working on this.

I would prefer to handle the different features in separate PRs and focus on the tagging feature first (since it is the easiest).

• Please use the hashtag # as the annotation for tags. This is the most common character for this (see Twitter) and likely what the user expects.
• Parsing the user input should go into a separate function for easier testing. The function should accept a string and return an object with the properties title<string> and tags<array>.

As for the other features (in separate PRs):

Calendar:

• The @ character makes sense for indicating where a task gets created (i.e. @/at a certain place/list). So please use it for indicating in which calendar/list a task will reside.
• Overwriting the calendar needs a bit of thinking. We normally show in the input field in which Calendar a task gets created. Overwriting this might lead to unexpected results. And we should for sure forbid to create a subtask in a different calendar, as it will not be visible after creation. Same goes for being in a list view.

Dates:

• There are really many key-words to parse for. I would start with today, tomorrow, ISO-dates (e.g. 2021-11-05) and the date format of the user. Next + weekday would also be an option, but this gets tricky already.

Thank you for starting this!

@ are normally used to tag people / groups. In the interest of that also being used in the future, I'd suggest using something else for adding calendars. Unless calendars, people, and groups are equivalent classes.

Toodledo has implemented this extremely well, IMO. They use a / in the task title to add details. This is the fastest way to add tasks that I've come across and doesn't require the constant keyboard-to-mouse switching like NC and most other task managers. I won't detail all its greatness here but here are some basic examples:

• task 1 /mon = set due date OR start date to following Monday
• task 1 /high /coding /paid = set priority high, add tags coding and paid
• task 1 /groceries = add tag "groceries"
  Of course you lose or slow down the ability to use these tag delimiters (/, #, @, etc) so that's one reason to bundle some / all of the tagging into fewer delimiters. Personally, I'd like to see @ for involving people and groups, / for details and tags, and optionally # for tags only.

Superseded by #2425.
