I had a dream : recorded actions directly to script.
Is is just possible to imagine that a script would be recorded by the actions we make ?
Open a menu, choose an item, then type on the keyboard. Then we have a record of al the actions and we adjust the obtained script.
impossible ?

That sounds more like a UI recording than an interpretation of UX results in a script. I do not work for SF, but I have some ideas about it as a user. For example, some moves like a menu click might make sense, but what about selecting a clip? What about two clips, or all the clips within a minute? Scripting would allow this sort of thing currently. Where I use a lot of mouse moves when I don't use SF, scripting may give me more access, but usually of a different sort.
I think it could be possible to imagine, for sure, but it's also a different direction to "record interaction" than to enable scriptability. I would be interested in smoother usability or extended potential with the UI "Pick" feature. As is, it can give a piece of code that sometimes needs to be edited or connected to other parts using what, to me, still feels like significant JavaScript knowledge.
The Pick feature writes an element as a piece of code that might not work right away and needs to be refined in context. Imagine your "Picked" feature is "undo," but one step is a volume change and another step is deleting a track. In a script, these will be very different, perhaps than simply saying, "I just wanted it to undo."
I am indeed interested in this "dream." I'm also thinking it might be quite a challenge! I will still give it a Like.
