                Posted - Apr 06 2020 : 03:41:57 AM  I have a category of hashtags that are numerous and that I would like to hide from the VA Hashtags window, and only from there.
  IOW, I would like to have a kind of regular expression filter, to exclude certain hashtags by name.
  My use case is this: I use auto-generated names as hash tags, to navigate between code sections. My pattern is eg. #ref_7O3H2I6 I wish all these hashtags to be active, but no polute the VA Hashtags window.

  Often created. I use hashtags to create "hyperlinks" in my code, following an idea emitted in the past, there: https://forums.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16655
  Which is, btw, and with hindsight, a very good code commenting help :)

  Great. I think this is sufficient. |

  I am wondering if doing a file search for all of these tags, to generate a sorted unique list of the tags, which could then be written out in one go to the VA "filter these hashtags out of the display" file is a good solution.  It should be fairly easy to extract the tags from your code, but if the list of tags is constantly growing this will tend to lag behind.
