Renaming shortcuts in MD drawer (no longer relevant, good solution found)

To group and pair close in functionality macros within a category, you have to give them names starting with numbers or give them not user-friendly names. For example "1_Screen rotate horizontally", "1_Screen rotation default" so on. When a shortcut is created in MD drawer, it is not possible to rename the name of the shortcut, as it can be done with other shortcuts (App launcher). This creates an inconvenience, since macro names must be unique, and when creating a large number of macros, their names can be very long.
I suggest to add the ability to rename the names of macro shortcuts located in the MD drawer (Long press on shortcut -> Edit -> TEXT button).

In MD drawer you can use Text option instead.

It would be very nice if you bother to use a little time to try MD's possibilities before posting all these "problems" in your different threads
It is difficult for beginners to find solutions that are obvious to advanced users. I have practically already found most of the answers and I promise not to spam the forum again after this post. I apologize for the irrelevant posts and thank you all for the help. It should also be borne in mind that it takes some time to understand the culture of the forum and during this time a newcomer behaves like a bull in a Chinese shop. I admire how smart MD is made and how actively MD users help each other, so please don't judge me too harshly 😔😒😧
