Add nice abstractions for intents and http actions #1636
Description
Developer TODO (don't remove)
- update documentation
It's very complicated to make intents and http actions but it might not feel like the actions are that complicated to users.
For example, the app could recognise when someone is making a home assistant http action and lend a hand, saving the oauth token, so if they make a second action, it can prefill some of the info.
Intents are a big scary screen that doesn't need to be that scary for certain tasks. Maybe we can do something friendlier.
This needs a big ideation session/call at some point in the future

I'll add to this and say that writing out intents for Termux are so labor intensive that I keep a template key map. 90% of my new key maps start with duplicating this key map and tweaking it. A history/favorite fields would be nice :)

Yes! That was the original idea. I also keep a template key map for I liked the idea of having an "Action bank" or "Action templates" where you can save favorite preset actions. The shortcuts help a bit if you recently created the action.
@jambl3r I think we could do both?
And what do you think of maybe having a "Favourites" section at the top of the action list?
And in our more complicated action list item mock up we could have a button to "Save to favorites"?
