And my question is How do you usually tag y

Answer 1

I like to improve Yaniv answer if you have the log in this format (filename.java:XX) xx line number you can link the shortcut the same way gets linked when there's an error, this way I can get direct to the line in question just by click on the logcat

I put this inside my extended Application so i can use in every other file

public static String getTag() {
    String tag = "";
    final StackTraceElement[] ste = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
    for (int i = 0; i < ste.length; i++) {
        if (ste[i].getMethodName().equals("getTag")) {
            tag = "("+ste[i + 1].getFileName() + ":" + ste[i + 1].getLineNumber()+")";
        }
    }
    return tag;
}
