No. I mean having the collapsed marker to the right of the heading, not
to the right of the visible tags. It stops you having to scan all the
way to the right. I small usability tweak I think.

e.g

*title                :tag:
    ** subheading

When I collapse I get

*title                :tag: ....

I think it would be easier to scan the title column (which you are more
likely to do than scanning process orientated tags) if the decoration
was like this:

*title...                :tag:

And for me.

No, I am not asking for tags to be removed from view.

But, on that subject is it possible to see inherited tags (maybe in a
different face?)?. They would, I assume, be read only in the places they
are "inherited". I see an ALLTAGS property, but its not immediately
clear to me from the documentation how to use it or even if it is what I
want.

Something like this at the top of a file?

:PROPERTIES:
:ALLTAGS: True
:END:


or, better and more concistent

#+ALLTAGS

But maybe I misinterpret the meaning of this special property? Possibly
I need to provide my own column view? Or can I modify the existing one
by including ALLTAGS?
