Um... Ctrl+Alt+T makes better sense to me!

...though it currently maps to the comment dialog.

There is "invert", "tag all selected", "untag all selected" (these without shortcut), but "toggle" - between tag/untag all selected is missing.
Sorry but i don't understand what you would like for Insert/Space? :-)
Combination of two existing features, the same as Ctrl+A - toggle select all/none, but for Insert/Space I want toggle "tag current" / "untag current" (these options are in menu > view > tag).

For example:

- tag files 1, 3
- select files 1, 2, 3, 4
- now press insert/space
- files 1, 2, 3, 4 should be tagged
- press insert/space again
- files 1, 2, 3, 4 should be untagged
- press insert/space again
- files 1, 2, 3, 4 should be tagged
...

Currently these keys work as "invert", so it's impossible to tag or untag all selected files via keyboard shortcut.

Hope it's clearer now...

Perfect!! :D

Could you add also a menu entry for this option ("Toggle"), or it's too late? I don't need it, I'll be using only shortcuts, but to inform the users about the new option and - all options should be also in menu - menu is even more important than shortcuts.
