Feature Request: batch removal of labels

floriand

While reorganizing my articles, I noticed that it is not possible to batch remove applied labels (when for example having selected a group of references) ((unless I missed somehting...?)). I might miss something, but somehow it would be handy if there is an option to remove this, avoiding the need to go through each reference separately. It's a quite minor issue that is maybe not very frequently needed, so just an idea!

By labels you mean tags? If so, one method to quickly remove tags is to assign the tag a color, then type the tag’s number on the keyboard to remove it. If you want to remove the tag from all items, you can right-click and delete it.

(but this isn't the first request for this & I think it makes sense to be able to remove a regular -- non-color -- tag from multiple items at once just like you can add it to multiple items at once)

ah cool, thanks! I didn't know about the number-feature. It's a handy workaround anyway, as it does not happen very often I guess. One little thing, is that the number feature does not seem to work with my azerty-keyboard on Mac. I need to enter shift + number, and there is not really a reaction from Zotero..

What do you mean "not really a reaction"? Are you saying that, if you assign a color to a tag and select an item, pressing Shift + number doesn't toggle the tag?

Hmm, so you're the first to report this, but looking at the code, it does seem like that might be the case. Issue created. We'll look into it.
