A GNOME text tagger inspired by the TextAnalysisTool.NET tool.

The main goal is to aid log analysis by tagging lines with user defined colors. Tags have a match pattern, description name, visibility toggle, color scheme and hit counter.

Ctrl + N : Add a Tag

Ctrl + S : Save tagged lines

Ctrl + C : Copy selected text lines to clipboard

Ctrl + H : Toggle untagged lines visibility

Ctrl + F : Hide/Show Tag list (bottom)

Ctrl + L : Hide/Show Line numbers

Ctrl + M : Hide/Show Minimap

Alt + E : Enable all tags

Alt + D : Disable all tags

Toggle the first ten tags with keyboard shortcuts.

Alt + 1 : Toggle enabled status for first tag

Alt + 2 : Toggle enabled status for second tag

...

Alt + 9 : Toggle enabled status for ninth tag

Alt + 0 : Toggle enabled status for tenth tag

-- requires a tag to be selected on the tag list

F2 : Previous tag hit

F3 : Next tag hit

Ctrl + M : Toggle minimap visibility

Using Ctrl instead of Alt will enable the respective tag and hide all the others.
