I would like to understand your tagging method a little more for the next round! How did you decided on the tags you created, and what did you choose to leave out?

[@rabbittdesign8482]

I built the tags with the thought that they would need to stack, meaning that they would need to be ambiguous enough to be applicable across multiple search queries for different classifications of items. Then I did a census of what I think of when I am searching...sometimes it is room based and sometimes it is classification based (chiefs internal mounts to wall classification for instance) So clicking the light tag then the wall tag means its a light mounted to a wall. clicking the floor/ceiling tag then clicking material means a flooring material. clicking bed/bath/closet tag then decor tag then wall would get me a vanity mirror etc. Then add in a search term to really narrow it down. I can find what I want in seconds across a big catalog

I've already got my Library browser on my Left side Screen of 3 screen setup, but hitting the Windows key and Right several times it will move to the center main screen. Great for single screen setups though. I do like the zoom feature though.

In your case you can just hit windows key up.. I don’t like pivoting my head to my other screen when I’m working so I keep it all on main screen

Window Key then left arrow does not do anything on my PC.

Let’s check some things. This is for a windows machine that’s is on windows 11. You would have to click on your library window first, then win+arrow? Does that work?

@@rabbittdesign8482 I have Windows 10, so that may be the reason. It may be time for me to upgrade. I've held off for a while because I heard that 11 had some issues in the past.
