Unfortunately, "simple" is a matter of perspective.
That being said, I know of two programs that do what you want.

The first, FileMeta, looks a helluva lot more overwhelming than it actually is.



To create an example, I chose ".ahk" files and added "system.keywords" (tags) to what is displayed and what I can edit in Windows Explorer's "details pane". 

Here, you can see that's I've set the focus to the "Tags" field.

I didn't add a tag because I forgot to and I would go back and re-do it, except I'm sitting outside getting eaten up by mosquitos and if I get up and go inside, I'll never finish this reply.  So I'm suffering the loss of blood to small flying creatures, as I hurry to finish this reply.




The second one is Windows Property System View by Nirsoft

I haven't tried it, but it looks simple.

Goog luck!

Hey Mouser.

I am looking to reduce the amount of clicks needed to access clips or to mark a clip as favorite.

Maybe my workflow needs some tweaking, but basically, when I copy something I want to "stash" (like tie a string on it...lol), I mark it as a favorite.
The favorite folder is sort of my "in-box" for clips I want to keep (it's more like a junk drawer... hahahaha).

Anyhoo, what I do is copy the string, then left click the CH+S tray icon, then right click that clip in the quick paste pop-up menu, and then choose "Mark this clip as favorite."

What would be awesome is to have a hotkey that allows me to mark the most recent clip as a favorite, without even viewing it.

So it would be like CTRL + C, then KEY1 + KEY2 to mark what was just copied as favorite.

It would even be fine if "Mark as favorite" could be a choice in the "quick actions" section of the quick paste pop-up.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....
I LOVE Clipboard Help and Spell!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

lol @ IainB's emoji chart...

Okay mouser...
(first, let me say that CH+S is pretty much my "most necessary" software on every one of my machines.... I mean, after the actual OS, that is...)

Off the top of my head, I have wished for:

• settings to be saved during updates
• some sort of way to see my hotkeys, without going all the way in to options (like right clicking on icon and having a submenu item that would display the hotkeys configured, in a simple box
• be able to configure the database location from the GUI, as opposed to the .ini (especially because this gets borked on updates)
• that "targeting" was spelled correctly in the "Window Watching" description under Tweaks  ;)
• that when I choose "Modify Format/Case" in the clip memo, it opens with all settings cleared.  (right now, I have a saved format called 'Clear out all settings" which I have to choose FIRST, then accept those "modifications" and close the window, only to choose Modify again, and THEN config what I want modified...)
• waking me up with fresh coffee in bed is pretty much a WIN, as well.... ROFL
