O.P. Shocked  Quick Text drop-down.
I was customizing a quick text (#13) today and it took me about 5 tries to get it completly right (it's a false action quick text). It gets kind of annoying to click the button 13 times x 5 (for those who are bad @ math that's 65 times o.O). I thought of something simeple to fix that - a drop-down menu. Image below:

wtf? why do you have to click a button heaps of times? and youd have to select from the dropdown menu loads of times.... prob needing to scroll down every time after a certain amount...
i dont get what youre trying to do! wanna explain? :P

With a drown down menu you can select, for example, quick text #13 instantly instead of hitting the "Next Quick Text" button 13 times...

I agree, its a good idea and it annoys me when I have to click it loads of times.. it just gets rather annoying after a while and you've customized your quick texts a lot :)...

well, this might be why the apply button is there! :o You simply add a quicktext, click apply, test it in an opened conversation window then you can go back to the preferences window and continue editing. I would also like this feature, becuase my solution doesnt always apply, like if you want to continue working on one from an hour ago or so.

I usually use the quick button in the convo. window, and there are other uses to. Say Quick text 43 has a typo - luck you, you get to press the next button 43 times! :o :banana:....:dodgy:
