The actions list is already divided into sections (Clip Actions, Color Group Actions, Effect Actions, etc.) It would be easier to navigate quickly to the desired action if these sections could be expanded/collapsed by tapping the section header. There could be a triangle on the section header that points down when the section is expanded (showing all the actions within that sections), and points left when the section is collapsed.
See attached screenshots for an example of what it could look like. One shows all sections collapsed and the other shows the “Clip Actions” section expanded.
When opening the actions list, it could either…
1) default to having all sections collapsed
2) default to having the “Clip Actions” section already expanded because it’s probably the most frequently used section
3) remember which sections were expanded/collapsed last time the list was closed
I’m not sure which of those options would be most useful, but I think any of them would be an improvement over the current configuration.
Since there are so many actions to choose from in the actions list (one of the reasons Loopy Pro is so great!), and hopefully more on the way with new updates, it can take a lot of scrolling to get to an action. Or it requires typing in the search box, which is also more cumbersome than just tapping a section header and then tapping the desired action from that section.
