Tag multiple references at once
Let me start my first post here by thanking the developers for creating this beautiful piece of software. I discovered it yesterday, moved all my stuff (Endnote X; lots of loose PDF files) over to Zotero today, and I'm totally hooked.
What about the ability to tag multiple citations at once? E.g. I have five articles by one author about different topics, but with some commonalities (like, they're all about one language). It would be great if tagging these five citations with "language X" would be as simple as selecting all five, hitting the 'Tags' tab in the right column, and entering one or more tags.
Right now, all tabs on the right disappear if multiple files are selected. For bibliographic info this makes sense, but not for tags.
My apologies, I did not search well before I posted. I see the issue has been raised before.

There's an example of this in the tags screencast:
