Support renaming and deleting tags. This could be from the tags pane or perhaps right-clicking a tag in note preview.

Good request, Sam, like renaming links this is an essential feature thatā€™s needed.

It also appears tags are cense-sensitive currently, e.g. ā€œ#Notesā€ is treated separately from ā€œ#notesā€.

They should IMO be case-insensitive as capitalization at the beginning of a sentence create doubled tags.

I like to request this feature also, sometimes I want to add emojis I find to the appropriate tags so renaming tags would really help.

Whenever a tag is renamed, it should change all occurrences (similar to page names). Right now, changing a tag name creates a new tag.

Hi,
Iā€™ve tried searching but to no avail. Is it possible to edit a tag and have it update everywhere? I know this happens with links.
Appreciate any help
Thanks

I donā€™t think itā€™s possible currently but would love to have this as a feature.

We are dealing with ordinary text files. Therefore, any program that can search for and change text in multiple documents will do.
I can remember Total Commander and Sublime.
There may be others

+1 to this! Love how page names can be changed, implement this with tags too!

Renaming of tags would be a total godsend.

Being able to rename and delete tags (and have it automatically reflected wherever the tag is used) is crucial to the usage of tags. In fact, Iā€™d say without this, I canā€™t use the feature at all.

I second the suggestion to make them case-insensitive as well.

This would also support tag deleting and renaming https://forum.obsidian.md/t/mass-search-replace/4395

For what its worth, I use VS Code for this kind of thing (and many other text editor functions) right now. But it would be great to have it all built-in. Its a bit of a hassle to be constantly jumping back and forth between applications.

+1 THIS. I hope its on the radar.

I like the way Pocket allows me to alter tags. In addition to the editing feature for all things associated with the tag of interest, we can consider a merging mechanism, if we want to rename two similar tags together, it can be done by just giving them the same name and hopefully Obsidian wonā€™t just block us from changing it because ā€œanother tag like this already existsā€, and it will just merge or agglomerate the tag count instead.

If it isnā€™t already implemented (and I just havenā€™t found it), this is still importantā€¦specially now that graphs support filters etc. +1

I would love this feature, but it doesnā€™t seem like it is prioritized by Obsidian. In the meantime, how do you all rename/delete your tags?

I open the vault folder in vscode and do a global search and replace. If you dont have vscode you could try other text editing programs as well.

Thank you! Never thought about doing this with VScode until I read your comment.
