Choose entity pop-up requires repeated searching for the same items [new user observation 1 of 7]

[davidbbs]

I observed a new user creating simple light automations for three hours this weekend.
Observation 1 of 7:

Problem 1: Choose entity pop-up requires repeated searching for the same items.
Proposal 1: List the 5 most recently used entities at the top of the pop-up
(Most frustrating by far: this made the experience go from “oh cool” to “arg, not again”.)

The most frustrating part of using the UI by far was having to search for “bedroom light strip” dozens of times to create 10 automations. If the pop-up list remembers the last 5 most recently used items at the top, this would have made the process of creating automatons immensely more enjoyable.

This was most frustrating in simple things like if/then/else blocks where the same entity needed to be searched for 2 or 3 times in creating just one automation.
