The paste from Slack is not clean.
I often copy-paste content from Slack to Tana to restructure, combine, and work with the content. However, the time it takes to just reorder and reindent outlines after copy-pasting is annoying.
A clean copy paste (don't know how).
The "main supertag" determines which fields to use in Build Title from Fields.
In a recent situation, I had a node with 3 different supertags. I added a fourth tag that I wanted to be the main one. I needed to remove and re-add the three tags in order to achieve the wanted effect.
In my case, I have 100s of nodes that I need to apply this change to, which takes time.
Quick select the main tag OR drag and drop to switch supertag order

Save two clicks and a lot of mouse moving.
Quality of Life
I remember Roam doing this quite well.
I have #task, which has "DL" in its field, and task titles are built as "${name} | ${DL}". I have different categories of tasks each with a supertag extended from #task. I'd like to have the extensions inherit the title construction.
It just takes a lot of time to go through 8 tags and change the title structure whenever I want to prototype some change in how my tasks are presented. E.g. if I add ${priority} to the title.
Add a toggle to make extensions inherit the title construction.

I have 3 criteria when sorting a list. I'd like to add a fourth as the most important criteria. Now I need to first remove the 3, then add the 4th, and the readd the 3.
Takes a lot of time.

This morning, I had two nodes opened side by side: my today node and a weekly tasks node. I wanted to open a third node in full screen mode for writing. However, to do that, I lose my today+weekly layout and can't quickly access it anymore.
It just slows things down.
The easy solution is to allow a "click to open in a new window" feature. This way, I can keep my original node layout as well as visit the new node in full screen.
Sorting e.g. tables by name, is capital sensitive. I don't see any use case, where capitalization should matter. Could there at least be an option?
Instead of looking through one list, I need to look through two lists (capitalized and non-capitalized)
Making sorting by name capital insensitive.

I often have two conflicting goals: First, I want to focus on just one page/node and close/minimize everything else. But second, I want to keep multiple other nodes closeby. Toggling between these two modes of difficult.
It's a focus/time/effort issue.
I'd like a focus mode toggle for individual pages, where the focus mode on would use all screen space for that one doe, and focus mode off would return to the previous layout.

I have many search nodes for supertags - especially for tasks. Sometimes I accidentally remove the supertag, which removes the node from the search node. Because undo doesn't work, I need to remember which node it was to re-tag it - otherwise, it's lost "forever" in the graph.
I forget some of my tasks.
Ability to use undo for supertag additions and removals.

I want to debug my taxonomy a bit, but it would help to have an overview available. With so many tags and field constellations connected via extensions and instances, keeping up with the structure isn't easy.
Well, taxonomy is everything.
A network graph - a visual description of the connections. (note! I'm not recommending a network graph of nodes - just supertags and how they connect via extensions or field instances)

I often have three panels (docks?) open side by side, and I often also want to close the leftmost one. However, this is not possible. This is probably because Tana assumes that the other panels are for deep dives and I'm mainly working off the leftmost main panel. This is usually not the case.
To close the leftmost panel, I actually need to full-screen the middle panel, then navigate to the rightmost panel again and open it up in a new panel. This is very cumbersome.
Options
1) Closing the leftmost panel makes the middle panel the main one.
2) Tana doesn't make a difference between "main panels" and docks but treats all panels equally.
