tagging multiple items at once?
Hello! I searched the forum and the docs, but didn't spot anything like this; is there a way I can select a group of items in a Zotero collection, then add the same tag to all of them at once? I've been able to add tags one item at a time with no trouble, but I'm keeping track of my reading assignments for a class and have thus run into a situation where I frequently add several PDFs at once that are ALL note-taking handouts, OR ALL required readings, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks!

For colored tags, you can also press the assigned number key to assign (and unassign) multiple tags at once.
I mean, first you select and drop the entries over the tag you want to add and then if you just repeat the same you'd remove it (like a switcher)?
Hope to be clear enough,
Cheers
The Zutilo add-on can be useful for tagging multiple items at once. You can set keyboard shortcuts for these functions:

Considering this solution I agree with @SaskiaP comment that it would be usefull/nice (but not crucial at least from my point of view) to have a direct solution (drag and drop as I proposed or something specific in a context menu)
A suggestion (as a feature request), could it also be made the other way around: dragging a tag towards a group of selected items ?
The feels so much more intuitive to me. It's for way that comes to mind for tagging multiple times. The other way - dragging multiple items on the tag - just didn't occur to me. I only found out about it because at some point I thought it must be possible to tag multiple items, and then googled it.
(And now I know, great to have this, but perhaps the other direction could be possible as well sometime ?)
