Open the page of the last task in a workshop when after you order a task

[artemsmikh]

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to implement a feature that allows for the opening the page of the last task in a workshop when after you order a task or maybe to allow repetition of the last assigned task in a workshop.

Before the Steam release, it was straightforward to produce, for example, 5 rock thrones consecutively in a mason's workshop without a manager by simply pressing a - c five times. Furthermore, when a task was selected, the workshop menu would remember the position of that selection, so the next time you opened the menu, it would display the page of the last task.

Currently, due to the mouse-oriented controls, you must click the Add new task button in the workshop, then move the cursor to click on the task. If the task is lower down in the list, scrolling or using the search function is necessary each time. This becomes even more cumbersome when attempting to create items in a metalsmith's workshop because you need to select the metal, choose the type of item (weapon, armor, etc.), then navigate a long list to find and select the item. This process makes producing multiple items, such as a few bronze short swords, very tedious.

Yes, I'm aware a manager could be used for these tasks, but a manager might not always be available, especially in the early stages of a fortress, or you might not wish to use one for simple orders like making 3 wooden nest boxes.

Therefore, my feature request is to either add a button that repeats the last task or, even better, to display the task list scrolled to the position of the last task when the Add new task button is clicked. Ideally, the same sub-menus (metal selection, type selection) would be opened as needed. So, the first time I click the Add new task button and select the metal, type, and then bronze short sword, for example, the next time I click the button without leaving the workshop screen, it would automatically bypass all the submenus and display the bronze weapon task list scrolled to the short sword, allowing me to place another order with a single click. What do you think?
