Often when processing a thought, there are multiple actions associated with the thought.
I also may need to create a project and then add multiple actions to it.
This is inconvenient right now: I must process the thought, go to another screen (for example the project screen or actions screen), add the actions, and then return to processing thoughts.
Others are running into this as well. People I work with run into the problem, and here are some examples from the forum:

Here is a (hopefully) simple solution.
The green arrow at the top of the process thoughts screen does two things:
1. Processes the thought - creating an action and/or project
2. Deletes the thought from the inbox
The proposed solution is to create another button (for example a blue arrow) that only does one thing:
1. Processes the thought (same as above)
But the blue button does not delete the thought - it leaves the thought in the inbox.
So then when I start processing a thought and realize there are multiple actions,
I'll create or select a project, add an action, and then press the blue button.
For the the remaining actions, I'll select the project that I just created, and add another action to it by:
pressing the blue button if there are more actions to enter, or
pressing the green button if it is the last action for this thought.
For bonus points, TR could remember the project when I'm still working on the same thought.
Thanks!
