Tag a file from Quick Look

finder-tagquicklook

I'd be able to very quickly tag a bunch of photos for later processing.

Best Answer

The Tags feature in Finder1 already has a keyboard shortcut which can be activated whilst in Quick Look. Press ⌘⇧T to set a tag on the currently selected file.


To set a custom shortcut…

  1. Open System PreferencesKeyboardShortcutsApp Shortcuts.
  2. Click the + button to add a new shortcut.
  3. Set the Application to Finder.app, and the Menu Title to Tags….
  4. Set your keyboard shortcut and press Add.

1 As this is a feature of Finder, not Quick Look, the modal popup may be behind the Quick Look window.
