10.9: Assigning Tags by keyboard shortcut in Finder
Authored by: gabester on May 05, '14 08:23:34AM
Thank you for figuring this out... Keyboard assignment of tags' predecessor labels has been invaluable to me over the years for managing files; it seems obvious now that I look at the keyboard viewer to see the ellipsis keystroke. It's unfortunate that this cannot be used to directly apply a specific tag but I'll settle for being able to select a file and hit my preferred keystroke and use the arrow and enter keys to assign the tag. A one-step solution would be superior; most likely accomplishable via an AppleScript and the script menu.

Some of those older hints for viewers following along from home:
10.7: Set Finder Labels from the keyboard
10.7: Set Label toolbar icon to your choice of colors
Automatically attach color labels to files

Kind of gives you a sense of functionality lost, eh?
