[Design] Quick Item Entry

[Philippe Bossut]

I suppose that the "last action used" will be persisted so the choice 
will stick to whatever the user ends up using the field for.
This is just a question of what the default action should be on first 
launch.
I do not have a strong opinion on this I have to admit.
Cheers,
