Easily see annotated tag messages
As a heavy user of annotated tags, I would like to be able to see the annotated tag messages (the annotations). I would like to be able to see the annotation by hovering over the tag in the left panel.
It looks like I currently have to click on the tag in the left panel, then move to the center panel and hover over the tag there. If I only have a couple of tags, that's fine, but when I have lots of tags that's pretty slow.
It would also be nice to have a way to copy the annotation to the clipboard as well. I currently go to the terminal window to do a "git tag' command, and then copy the line to my clipboard.
I love GitKraken - keep up the great work!

ErrorOnAgree 110% with the above. I would also add that I need to enter multi-line annotations. Currently when making an annotated tag you are given a tiny little single line text box to type into. Secondly, it would be great to have a different indicator for annotated tags vs regular tags.

Side note, "hovering over tag" to see the tooltip/message is very finicky - works sometimes, but more often not. -

Marc MergedMy team's has a use case for tag annotation whereby we include relatively comprehensive and potentially lengthy release notes using the annotation feature.
As implemented,in gitkraken to view the annotation requires hovering over the 'tag' icon which then reveals only limited number of characters, and truncating lengthy notes.
It would be very useful if there was a scrollable text view on the right hand pane next to the commit comments where the tag annotation can be if a tag, or any commit or branch associated with a tag is clicked. -
