After Android's "New to-do" button creates an item, it should start editing immediately

When tapping "Add to-do" in the WYSIWYG editor on Android, the number of taps could be reduced.

Currently:

  1. Tap "+" button
  2. Tap "New to-do" button
  3. Tap the new item's "Add title" text
  4. Enter text and hit enter
  5. Tap back button
  6. Tap back button again

Finally, I have created a To-do item.

As you can imagine, this is cumbersome and I resent having to make so many taps when my previous note-taking app was much faster.

The most obvious step in to speed it up is to automatically start editing the "To-do" item when it is created after step 2) to save a tap.

As a side-note, I had tried using regular notes previously but on mobile I also found it cumbersome to modify the markdown without a WYSIWYG editor whereas it was fine on desktop.

In my opinion, To-do should have a very fast WYSIWYG editor since they're often used for grocery lists needing quick edits on the go or while at the store.
