They’re not really actions, and it’d be nice to be able to create them a little more directly, like from the toolbar etc. Maybe ctrl+shift+A? Same goes for comments.More generally, being able to assign hotkeys to arbitrary actions would be cool.Incidentally, I use action groups a lot: - when translating a batch file, labels become action groups (helps find the corresponding statement) - as comments for groups of related actions - to be able to collapse unimportant actions - to split up long action listsSteve
Thanks - interesting suggestion
Some ideas to make it easy for you for now:
1. Ctrl-i focuses the filter, and Enter will add the selected action to your build. So, Ctrl-i “gr” Enter will add an Action Group in 4 key presses.
2. Your action group is probably in the frequently used action group, and it’s always at the top of the Action Types so it’s easy to find.

- Yep, that’s how I currently do it. For each action, I memorise a good sequence of letters - for instance, for the ‘If’ action, I actually do Ctrl+I,T,H,E,Enter. Otherwise, pressing a few times gets there.2. Personally, I don’t find the frequently used list helpful, because it’s never visible. It only shows up when the search box is empty, which is basically never. On the rare occasions that the search box is empty, the frequently used actions are all the way up the top, out of easy reach. IMHO, it should always be visible, regardless of what’s in the search box.Steve
