Properties
You can use properties instead of tags. (Properties can be used only at the beginning of the note, but it works in 99% cases).
- Create property
- Change type to list (in red rectangle)
- You can now choose from selectable list (without need for any signs)
Try in new note.
It’s especially easy to use with Templates (core plugin).

Nested tags
#context/family
#context/personal
So you write c character and you can choose all context/... tags.
PS
On forum
You can use ` - backtick symbol to write example text/code (on keyboard near ~ lambda symbol).
