There are some insertions that do not have shortcut keys. It may be
preferable to be able to edit them; for example, trying to type out
exactly twenty = does not seem to be practical and less time one has to
move their hand to the mouse, I would think the more fluid the access
to the program.

Oops. I must have meant when a tag is being edited, the format keys do
not work; they insert the formatting in the editor pane instead. 
One notable thing is that when a tag is selected, if the bold (or other
format) button clicked twice, the ** ** symbols are added twice.

Sorry, I mean that there is a button as well as a dropdown button
beside it. I don't believe the dropdown button is necessary, since the
original button already opens a dropdown menu.

Well, from a programming perspective, (I really have no experience with
programming for Linux), you might use a colour chooser and take the
selected colour to change the hard coded colour for highlighting.

I have noticed a few things since I started using RedNotebook and that
there is no way to organize tags; for example, suppose I wanted to move
my todos to done, I cannot drag them. If I cross them out and search
for todos,  I have a large list of crossed out tasks. If perhaps I put
a tag on the wrong day, I can't drag them to the calendar to move them.
If I was tracking a particular hobby and was not interested in it any
more, I cannot remove it. Of course, this is just me being greedy, so
I don't see these as necessary, although I think I may not be the only
one who thinks this.

In addition, the preview button only formats double line breaks; it
does not seem to format single ones. I am not sure if this is because
the output is in HTML.

Finally, in the template files for the Weekday Template should say
which day it is for (at least briefly), in the template filename or at
least in the text file.
