OK, I’ll agree that this is just an idea and certainly not in any way pressing. It might not even be useful to others.
I sometimes use Ardour for analyzing a track. I import a sound file into Ardour, and them press play.
As playback proceeds, I use the key to drop a location marker at various points of interest. When I do this, a small dialog pops up asking for a marker name.
It would be great if there was some way (config option) to skip the naming dialog and just use the provided name (mark?) if dropping a mark during playback. It would save the extra keystroke (enter) to use the default name.
As @Piergi mentioned there is Preferences > Transport > General > Prompt for new marker names
When enabled, a popup a dialog when a new marker is created to allow its name to be set as it is created.
When disabled no dialog is shown and markers are named “Mark N” (with the number N increasing for each marker), and you can always rename markers by right-clicking on them.
