For various reasons, I (sometimes) prefer list menus to floating menus.
Is there a reason why list menus can't stay open all the time, just like floating menus? Currently, they close automatically after a trigger is selected.
I would really appreciate it if I could choose whether they remain permanently visible or not.
unfortunately that is not possible, these menus are provided by the system and don't allow such customization. Only possibility would be to immediately reopen the menu after the action, but that won't look nice
ah sorry I thought you meant the context menu "lists" 
For these it would be possible to add an option to stay visible. I'll need to think about it because it might need some changes (usually the action is triggered after the window is hidden, if it is not hidden, then the action would be executed for the currently active window which by default would be the list window)
Not always. Just to let you know. This isn't really working well for some actions right now.
Text transformations only work for me if I insert a pause before the action. The list window apparently doesn't close fast enough.
With the pause, everything works as expected. So it's not a problem if you know about it.
Then I’d say you should change the default 
... just kidding, of course I have no idea. But I do know that it works with floating menus. So I’m confident you can figure this out as well
To be honest, I think a lot of people aren't familiar with this list feature yet. The ability to quickly create functional, attractive, and searchable (or pre-filtered) menus is really useful. If we could choose to keep them visible, that would be a plus.
Well, thanks for trying
Interesting, have you tried that with a current BTT version without the delay? (the auto-delay handling hasn't always been there, but current versions should not require a delay for any list actions)
(The action executing in the active window is a macOS default, floating menus use many tricks to workaround that. I could apply similar ones to the list)
True. I turned off the delays, and it works just fine without them. I wasn't aware of this improvement. The delays used to be necessary in earlier BTT versions.
Yes, please
