Can we have a dropdown for named triggers where BTT lists all available named triggers? (Show disabled ones as greyed out)
it'd make them way easier to use..

A search field would be also very useful.
I have made it a combo textfield / dropdown in v5.520!

Hi Andreas,
great new feature!
I noticed that I have somehow quite some multiple double entries in my "Named triggers" list, while there are no double ones defined (nor selectable in the new combo dropdown) .
They are probably old entries or so. Is there a way to clean this up ?
Thx,
Christian
do you maybe have that trigger in multiple apps / activation groups? I think that list currently shows across whole BTT - with the only restriction that the preset needs to be enabled.
I'll add a filter to show every trigger only once.
//edit: filter added in 5.521. In case you want to get more details about your named triggers you can run this Java Script For Automation via Script Editor:
let BetterTouchTool = Application('BetterTouchTool');
let allNamedTriggersJSONString = BetterTouchTool.get_triggers({trigger_id: 643});
allNamedTriggersJSONString
Great, that would be very useful for repeated trigger_named in different apps/CAGs 
Regarding the new dropdown menu, I think it's too small, Could you give it more height?
Now it' showing only 6 triggers:
It would be also possible to filter the drop-down list while we type in the field?
In the previous screenshot i.e., it would be great if after typing "click" the list only shows trigger_named that contains a "click" in the name.
unfortunately the system doesn't allow customizing these combobox dropdowns further, I'm actually not sure how it decides on the height.
I should probably add a custom view to show them.
//edit aah actually I missed the numberOfVisibleItems property 
Will set a high number.
Perfect!
The filtering of the repeated triggernamed in 5,521 works perfectly, any triggernamed is repeated! Thanks!
great V5.522 did it !
Feature request for the context menu of "Named Triggers".
to quickly jump/navigate to the named trigger (in the example: closeEditor) could be useful on the context menu
like so:
yep good idea!
For now I have added these buttons to the sidebar (5.524) - context menu would also be good but it's currently the same menu for any action.

Great ! works fine.
Hallo @Andreas_Hegenberg
I noticed that in the new combo dropdown box app specific named triggers are not shown, is that by design ?
Thx,
Christian
I'm having the same issue with the latest alpha release, It's not letting me select some named triggers.
Also yesterday before updating, it wasn't letting me select a names trigger that began with a number 1_simple_left_click until I changed it to a_simple_left_click
Having that list be ordered alphabetically would be a huge plus, I could add a "1_"prefix to triggers I want to surface to the top
Would it be possible to display a list of suggestions as I type?
Also, can the first suggestion be preselected for easy Enter selection?
===========================
Another issue I've noticed: when I have a named trigger selected, and I pick a different one from the action selector, it retains the original text in the field instead of replacing it with the newly selected trigger.
