Expand/Collapse Sections in Actions List for Quicker Navigation
under review

Description:
Allow collapsing and expanding of grouped sections within the actions list (e.g., Clip Actions, Effect Actions, etc.) by tapping on their headers. This would make navigation significantly faster, especially as the list of actions grows with new features.
Problem:
The current actions list is long and requires excessive scrolling or searching to find specific actions. It’s hard to quickly jump between different sections without visual separation or toggling capabilities.
Proposed Solution:
– Allow tapping on a section header to collapse or expand that section
– Use triangle indicators (down = expanded, right = collapsed) like in dropdown menus
– Implement one of the following behaviors on opening the list:
1. All sections collapsed by default
2. Frequently used section (e.g., Clip Actions) expanded by default
3. Restore the previous expand/collapse state
– Add keyboard support:
• Left/right arrow or Return key = toggle current section
• Up/down arrow = navigate section headers or actions
Benefits:
✅ Faster navigation through large numbers of actions
✅ Reduces scrolling and visual clutter
✅ Makes the UI feel more structured and intuitive
✅ Keyboard support enhances accessibility and power-user efficiency
✅ Scales well as more action types are added in future updates
