Hopefully easy question about receptacles
I have half hot outlet I'm replacing and was wondering what would happen if I didn't break the tab off. Would it just be hot all the time? Would there be any issues with this?

I actually would like it to be hot all the time, as for wires into the box. There are three sets of wires, two normal black,white, ground and one set with black white red and ground

The one issue might be if this is the only switched receptacle and there is no ceiling light , the code requires a switch controlled lighting outlet or receptacle. Making the receptacle hot all the time could remove this.
