Title:
Create Entries Beta: use field w/ autocompletion and browser for moods (like for tags)

Area:
entries

Summary:
Scrolling down the very long mood menu to pick one is not my favorite thing to do. I'd rather have the same system we have for tags: one field with autocompletion where you could also enter whatever (which would get rid of the awkward 'custom mood' field) and a browse button to load a mood browser.

I don't have a problem with this in principle, but just wanted to note that we'd still need some way of selecting what icon to use with a "custom mood".

I like the idea of autocomplete, so long as we can also browse all the images/standard titles, and can still select to make our own text.

No, because I don't know my mood keywords (or any keywords for anything) by heart and never will. Considering I need a list to keep track of my lists, that I have to go read my tags page to know what my tags on certain subjects actually are, and that I'm so forgetful I almost left for work in my pajama pants the other day - and this is the short list of some of my memory problems - there is no way I could deal with what it is that's being suggested (if I could only remember now what it was).
