Shortcut for "and" search

memokun · 01-22-2018, 03:21 PM

In the tag browser, when I click a tag, the search becomes

Code:

tags:"=tag"

Now, when I control-click or shift-click another tag, it becomes

Code:

tags:"=tag1" or tags:"=tag2"

However, I do "and" searches far more often than "or" searches, and it's quite tedious to change the or to an and in the search bar every time. Is there a shortcut for doing an "and" search?

@memokun - at the bottom of the Tag Browser there's a button labelled "Configure", when you click it you will see an option labelled "Search Type when selecting multiple items", when you click that you will see two options -- I'll leave it you to workout the rest

Wow, I feel like slamming my head on the desk now! I looked all over the preferences dialogue, but never even noticed that configure button.
Thank you so much!
