Using @ and # shortcuts to add members/labels in the card title doesn't work anymore?

Question

Until recently you could use @ to add team members and # to add labels when creating a card (in the title)

It seems this doesn't work anymore?
Could you please fix that, as it really slows people down when you have to first create the card and then use l and m shortcuts separately.

Can you image a tool like todoist and they remove the contextual shorcuts - make you use the GUI all the time? That's kind of what it's like.

I heard on Reddit that this was deliberately removed in order to reduce maintainability or some such thing.

Personally, this is pretty devastating and maybe a reason to leave Trello.

It is soo much easier to just type #Label than playing with keyboard shorcuts. I wonder if the "usage" of this was truly studied and appreciated by Atlassian.

Makes no sense to reduce basic functionality.

Thank you, Michael Heikka. So, as opposed to a really helpful feature that is ready to use, you are asking that I tinker with the code to develop something and then either alter it (or have other people change it for particular projects)?
