Design improvment on the app

Hi
I have an idea of improvment of the app.

When I am creating a Macro, and when I have a lot of Actions, I sometime need to rearrange them (sort them).

For doing that I have to go on top of the Action panel, and click on the two arrows going opposite ways.
Then only I can sort the actions as I want.

It's a pain in the .. because when there's a lot of actions, I have to got to the extreme top then go back to the extreme down.

Is it possible to do something like: if I do a long click, it directly permits drag and drop ?

Thank you for your work

...or add a button at the bottom of the screen with an up-arrow ⤴️ to go straight to the top.

Agree:) I imagine a floating toolbox or non scrolling fixed header area is implemented someday.

Subtle changes

Just wondering if these few changes would make it easier for new and existing users. 1) Default variable as string. Currently the default for local variables is Boolean, I don't know about others but more of my use cases are using string variables so if it were string by default it is one less...

Floating buttons is also a good idea. Better than the actual way.

But I think "long click and then drag and drop" seems simplier and maybe more in accordance with smartphone spirit.

A Floating tool box in a small screen is a bit annoying no ? Its going on top of other things.

Thats only my opinion, I'm just debating about it, not trying to make competition.. (sorry for this, i'm new in here so I prefer to tell that because you never know how people will react)

All the buttons on top of Action board could be put inside the contextual menu that appears when you click on one of the actions. (Or could be left ALSO on top of board why not)
-add action
-Paste above
-Paste below
-Action board in full screen
Etc

If you long click one of the action, it appears brighter and lightly bigger than the others.
You can then drag it upward or downward.

But after you long-clicked on one of the action, you could also click on more actions and like this do Multiple Selection.

Because the problem is not only sorting. Its also when I delete or when I disable: I have to do it one by one.

With this feature, you could drag and drop many actions at the same time instead of only one by one.

And also you could delete many actions, instead of clicking and delete one by one.

By multiple selecting, you could also disable or enable many actions too.

I think this is the way of operating (more or less) of many android apps, like Gmail for example.

But maybe thats not faisable for some technical reason.

Long tap then multi selection is suitable for standard Android UI context. So I'm not negative to it at all:)

Copy multiple choice

I don't think the floating or fixed header toolbox conflict it and it's popular in all window systems(PC Windows/MAC OS/UNIX X). Having corruption feature would be better maybe.
I hope some improvements for MD macro development environment. Currently it looks enough fancy but it could be more productive I believe. All features are welcomed unless conflicted:)
