Feature Request: Detect the current foreground activity and make it as a state.
As we all know, Tasker have an App context to detect the foreground activity and run tasks, but there is no way to detect the activity. I can't make Tasker decide whether to perform a task according to the current activity.when a event happened(of course Shell code can detect the activity, but shell is too slow)

Scenes sizes
Greetings! I would like to leave a tip: in the next update, you can put the option to use percentage (%) to change the size of the resolution of the scenes, besides the pixels? It would help a lot to fit all screen sizes. Ex: to cover the entire screen, just place 100% vertical and 100% horizontal. Thank you.

Allow users to create a new Taskernet account instead of using Google login
Some people (including myself) would probably prefer creating a separate Taskernet account instead of tying it to their Google account (or any other service, for that matter). It would be great to see such option in the future.

Extend Restore Settings Profile Option
Would it be possible to extend Restore Settings to cover the Custom Setting and Location Mode actions?
Currently, if these settings need to be reverted, a global variable and an exit task need to be used.
It would be more consistent, since these are settings actions, for them to obey Restore Settings.
In addition, any other setting action that does not obey Restore Settings probably should.

follow launcher font size and style on "Task" widgets
Current, only "Task Shortcut" widgets follow the launcher font size and style, but not "Task" widgets.
Could you please implement it?

Element Position Continue Task Immediately
How about adding an Continue Task Immediately option for Element Position so that multiple objects can be moved around at the same time.
Also if there's a way to do that already without any extra plugins, please let me know.

send emails without request
I think it is really useful to insert a function to send emails without request (being able to configure the various smtp parameters), now I can do it with an external plugin but it would be better to have it integrated.

Log error toasts
A menu entry right below "Run Log" called "Error Log" or similar would be nice. That way we won't have to enable full logging to see the logs of our errors (plus if we miss an error toast we can see it in the log).

Link to a web service to find icons for tasks/profiles/scenes etc
Tasker has a relatively limited set of icons available by default, the icon packs available in the play store are a bit dated, and it is difficult to use icons from incompatible icon packs.
It would be nice to link up to a free icon web service like https://thenounproject.com to allow users to choose from a massive set of possible icons without having to bundle them in with the app.
Credit to a user on Reddit for this idea:

Alternatively, making Tasker compatible with "standard" android icon packs for launchers would be a good option too, though launcher icons tend to

Missing functionallity of sending SMS to a contact group
Hello, I've spotted a missing functionallity.
I cannot choose a contact group in event send SMS. When clicking on magnifying lens -> I can choose only single contacts.
This is how I would have to use the contact group (I have entered CG:Friends manually, because there is no way to choose a group of contacts):
But when executing the event - it throughs an error:
While on the profile receiving event this functionality is there and

Ability to select a range of lines quickly.
I would like to suggest adding a feature that would greatly facilitate the selection of several lines: when selecting a line and selecting another line, then make the selection of any interval between them. When you have a task with many lines, it is difficult to make the selection one by one. Thankful

Allow detection of Tasker as a foreground app as an "expert" option
Currently Tasker windows do not affect %WIN, and Tasker can not be chosen as an app context. This is a deliberate restriction to prevent endless loops and other issues.
I propose providing an option to remove this restriction, akin to "expert" mode in preferences.

Native Method to get Foreground App
There is currently no built-in action to get the foreground app name and package. The %WIN variable is inaccurate and often empty, making it unsuitable.
I know this can be done with AutoInput, but a native action for this would be very useful, especially in kid apps.

Add Keyboard "Is shown" and "Close" Actions
We currently have an action to show the soft keyboard. However, there is currently no way to detect if the keyboard is already showing. Some way to detect this state has been requested several times on various Tasker forums.
I request an action to close the keyboard, if currently shown, and an action that returns the current state of the keyboard.

Support of "android.intent.action.CALL"
Hi. It would be nice to allow Tasker to intercept the "android.intent.action.CALL". I'd like to use it to make Tasker to catch call events, then wait until my Android car head-unit connects to my phone and place calls using its bluetooth connection as soon as it's established. (Head-unit and phone connect after Tasker sends through USB modem an SMS command to the phone)
