Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I'd like to be able to mark/tag files and directories

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• [ ] Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

My suggestion is to add tagging mechanism like the one in the ranger screenshot below:-

Additional context

No response

Validations

• [X] I have searched the existing issues
• [X] The latest nightly build of Yazi doesn't already have this feature

[sxyazi]

Sorry, there are no plans to build this feature in, as different users might have varying needs for tags/marks. For example, I personally need to share the same database with the tags provided by macOS, so Anirudh and I wrote this plugin: https://github.com/yazi-rs/plugins/tree/main/mactag.yazi.

I believe the tag feature in ranger is another possible implementation. Although I haven't actually used it, I'd love to see someone interested in that workflow implement it. It's not difficult, and the link above is a valid example. This way, we can have multiple options to maintain maximum flexibility.
