Tag suggestions for Favorite tags
![Preferences page showing Favorite tags typed in by hand](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/mMDm5WpZfqwo7LbEFyhzRoAA)

When adding a tag to a post, beginning to type leads to all matching tags being displayed, avoiding the need to type out tag names by hand.

Would it be useful to include this feature in the Preferences page for the Favorite tags field? Currently they must be typed in full.

## Multiple tag sets
I don't know how the current hand-typed Favorite tags field handles Categories that don't share a tag set. I would guess that if a Favorite tag exists in multiple tag sets then posts with that tag will be highlighted for any Category regardless of its tag set.

If that's the case then I guess the Favorite tags field would need to display the union of the tag sets for that site, so that tags for all Categories are included. This means it might not be as simple as using the existing code for the tag suggestions for posts, but I'd still like to see the feature.

I don't see this as in any way urgent, since I type Favorite tags far less frequently than I type tags for posts.
