Quickly adding tags

amjacobs says:
How do I quickly add tags to a task? I want to be able to just include some text in the task that will automatically associate the task with a tag, similar to #label for quickly associating a task with a list. Is this possible? I have searched the FAQ and such but cannot find an answer.

Thanks!

So I've learned a bit. I did not realize that the # symbol could be used to associate a task with both a list and a tag. Thus I should modify my question:

Is there an easy way to use # to associate a task with both a list AND a tag? So far when I try to do this RTM just assumes all of the words after the '#' are tags, not that one is a list and the other is a tag. Am I just hosed here?

Alright, sorry to have been a bother. I figured it out. For anyone that's wondering, here is at least one way to add a task to a list MyList with the tag 'bill', due tomorrow:

"This is a task ^tomorrow #MyList, #bill"

My problem was not having commas. If you have a list called 'MyList' RTM will associate the task with that list. Any #label statements are assumed to be tags unless you have a list that has the same name as the label.
