Is your feature request related to a problem?

Creating a single action that does different operations at the same time requires a lot of time. To add a single step, the user requires at least 2 click (if the default value is the one they already wanted).

How would you like the problem to be solved?

Since the single click to add is a good behavior, I propose two design possibility:

1. A toggle button that switch from selecting multiple steps and then an add button to add altogether.
2. A selector at the beginning of the item to, well, select multiple and as above an add button to add them altogether

The first propose has a 1-click overhead but less prone to user-error, the second one is faster but if the selector is misplaced it may cause more frustration than the current solution.

What alternatives have you considered?

Adding one step at the time.

Additional information

Since I'm new with this software I know that all of this will not impact me in the future when I will have my setup stabilized, but I think it would be good for future user that land here to have the least friction possible when they need to choose between the official toolbox and this power-user application.
Also, I often found myself adding a step only to read the description to understand what it does, so a question mark button (preferred) or subtitle (may clutter the UI too much) may also be good

Just though about two other suggestion related to the adding of new steps:

1. An option to add multiple annotation at the same time?

I don't really have more than one annotation in one action, but for a longer action where you may want some information of the progress this could be great!

2. A toggle to remove the already added step in the current action?
   This one I could actually see using myself to see if I forgot to add some critical step

Well... you have a point, but at the same time, as you said yourself that is most painful only on first setup. So I don't see this as high priority.
