Enhancement request: Switch to tag by name

[kcburge]

Would it be hard to pop up a prompt to ask for the tag to switch to, and, if it's not "open" yet, do the same behavior as add()? I'm thinking something like emac's buffer switching. I keep too many tags open for the modkey-1, modkey-2 etc. to be useful. Also, it's a lot slower having to think about which number a window is on than to just type a tag name. Doesn't have to be fancy.

I tried adding this on the master branch, but my Lua's skills are practically non-existent (not to mention understanding the internals of awful). I'm sure this is rather simple to do. (I copied the rename function and tried to adapt, but it didn't work.)

Maybe have a look around here: https://github.com/bioe007/awesome-configs/commit/35ed29ad9e6c18e4879d525b2992ab1bb15e8ad5

Its been so long, I can't remember how it really worked. But it did to some degree, not sure if I ever finished it.
