Deck: copy/view tag colors

[jiblett1000]

Hey all. First off, thanks to all the developers for the great work on this app. I am continually (and pleasantly) surprised at the pace at which this app is being worked on :)

Anyhow, I was going to add some tags today and thought it would be extremely useful to have a way to see or copy the color from one tag to another. This could potentially mean adding a text display of the hex code and a place for input of hex codes.

This could be useful for someone hoping to organize different tags by the same color. For example, they could organize tags for difficulty (easy, hard, etc) under the same color.

We rely on the color picker from the vue components for that https://nextcloud-vue-components.netlify.app/#/Components/ColorPicker?id=colorpicker

This could potentially mean adding a text display of the hex code and a place for input of hex codes.

Not sure if that is something to add to the vue component or if that is to technical to show a hex value cc @nextcloud/designers

Maybe some kind of copy icon that copies the hex code into clipboard instead of directly showing the hey code?

But where do you paste it then :wink:

I'm not terribly familiar with the nextcloud components but I have messed around with Vue a bit. From looking at the component documentation linked by @juliushaertl, it would seem that the component takes a hex code in a string format as it's value. I'm guessing it would be possible to make a separate text input that binds to the same data property as the color picker.

Also, rather than creating a separate color code output, maybe it makes more sense to just output to that same text field input which can be copied and/or modified there directly if needed. Hopefully I'm making some sense here.

However, it does seem like this should be default functionality for the color picker in general.

Using hexadecimal to select colors is a very convenient way, I really hope that I can select colors in this way.
