[Idea] Shortcut button to add certain actions or preset of actions in Macrodroid.

[sampleuserhere]

Now I kind of want to do this for quite sometime. The idea is not that grand, I simply want to add certain actions quickly. Most of the time I have to either tap 3 times, write the name of the actions and confirm. That's about 5 steps in total, 2 additional steps if I were to slip one action in between.

Here's the screen record of what I've came up so far.

What do you think?

I personally think something like favorite button would be cool to have natively within the app, A button with swipe mechanics seems a bit overboard. It would help adding certain actions we frequently use quicker.

Anything that improves experience of adding multiple actions/macros/triggers/constraints - I AM IN!

Just to add to this, I can't see if you used it or not but you can use intents to open pages of triggers/actions/constraints if you have their ID. However I think it uses the temp id which is pretty hard to get and understand.

I didn't use Intent. Fortunately, clicking their view/element ids is doable even when the buttons are not visible. That's what I've been doing.
