Hashtags that happen to contain HEX characters (A - F) and are 6 characters or more are not captured as hashtags

[bpowell2008]

Describe the bug
If a hashtag happens to consist of hex characters in the first 6 characters, the application will format them as Hashtags, but will not add them to the hashtag word cloud, or allow searching on that particular hash-tag... for example:

#Deadbedroom
#aeacba

Those two hashtags are not searchable .... the first is an actual term .... the second is just a set of characters I put together for testing.

To Reproduce

1. Go to 'Journal entry'
2. Add a #hashtag that consists of hex characters, and is at least 6 characters long, e.g. #aeacba
3. Restart application and check hashtag cloud for the new hashtag; or, try to select it from the drop-down
4. The hashtag is not there.

Expected behavior
I would expect any hashtag would be searchable, and included in the hashtag cloud.

Thanks for the report! Do you know Python and want to prepare a pull request?

[bpowell2008]

Hi @jendrikseipp ... I don't know Python that well, and am not sure what a pull-request is. If you have some suggested edits to a file, if you could point me to the location of that file, I'm happy to make a backup and then edit the file to make any changes and re-test!

If you can walk me through a pull request process, I'm happy to give it a shot!

Note: The issue is resolved by changing: /usr/share/rednotebook/rednootbook/data.py

Change the following; (remark out the first line, and add a second line)

#HASHTAG_EXCLUDES = "|".join((HEX_COLOR, CPP_DIRECTIVES))
HASHTAG_EXCLUDES = (CPP_DIRECTIVES)

Basically, I just remove the "HEX_COLOR" from the excludes...this fixes the issue; but I'm not sure why HEX COLOR was excluded in the first place, so I'm not sure about the downstream impacts.
