- Bonus: ability to recognize / simulate tv specific keys like input or netflix

Scene menu element position by index
It would be nice to be able to position/scroll a menu element at/to a certain point based on the row index. Thanks in advance ☺️

Planned
An "Advanced Search / Replace" Action
Really need the creation of a new/additional Search/Replace that primarily enabled two things:
1. Allow named groups in the regex to automatically create variables and values within the Task.
2. Allow multiple replaces at one time in the Action by inputing a group name along with its replacement value.
Pairs should likely be created/input using the format of the new Task/Profile/Project variables feature, where you press a " + " button, and a new pair of fields appears.
For full detail and code examples please see this reddit post.

Nested or grouped tasks
Stay with me, Joao! please... ;-)
I know, I know...
I have seen others request this, without fully or clearly explaining any type of detail or benefit.
I have made images to explain how this would benefit the usability of Tasker. As a UI designer myself, I am often annoyed by this small but easily fixable thing. I have made examples in Photoshop to illustrate my explanation: My home automation tab ("project") is a good section to demonstrate this with, as it consists of many many tasks. This causes me to have to scroll quite a lot. And I have

Perform Task action, tap on it gets to that task (like browsing folders)
Like the title says, one of the things missing that I feel would be great.
Cheers!

improve file system explorer for file/dir selection or allow user to use a third party one
Its hard to read and not very useful especially for low vision person. If possible find a solution for:
- Icons, font are too small,
- colors not well choosen,
- no preview for pictures,
- no sorting or searching option
- no ability to choose number of rows/columns or setting view as a list.
Or allow user to choose favourite file explorer

Planned
Grace period for sensible state contexts to activate/deactivate
An option in seconds the state must remain in the same condition until it finally (de)activates.
This will make profiles more reliable and easier to use, instead of adding waits and conditions in tasks.
Net: BT/Wifi connected
Phone: Signal strenght
Sensor: Magnetic field

Scene layouts
Creating a scene for several device is just a pain, the activity layout should scale according the screen size of target device, it shouldn't use any absolute layout or fixed aspect ratio.

Scenes can be used as WIDGETS on the Homescreen
This is something that has been sorely missing from Tasker for sooo long. The ability for a Tasker Scene to be placed as an anchorable widget on the homescreen.
This eliminates the need for work-arounds like using Zooper or KLWP, etc. It'll probably involve developing a whole new widget for Tasker but it'll be worth it. If anyone can figure it out - it's you Joao!!

Event/State change for change of audio output
Tasker currently has state change to detect Headset Plugged, and BT connect/disconnect.
However recent versions of Android (and some apps e.g. Pocket Casts) provide an ability to show/change audio output without connecting/disconnecting e.g. BT device is connected, can change to internal speaker, or with 2 BT devices connected can switch between them.
Therefore I'd like an event/state change to detect when audio output changes - perhaps with 2 associated variables: audio output (i.e. Speaker/BT/Plugged headset) and device name (to allow trigger only for specific audio output e.g. Car).
I currently do this using logcat entries, however this is device/phone specific
