FastActions
FastActions can make your life easier by providing easy to access shortcuts to operators that are usually far in some menus, as well as some operators that would usually requires several operator calls.
Simply press F6 to open the pie menu
Note that FastActions uses the F2 and Looptools addons which are provided with Blender.
However, by default they are not activated, please do it to properly use the FA operators in Edit Mode.

General:
- Open current project folder
- Open Global/Local/System user pref folder

Object Mode:
-
Create collection from objects: This will create a collection named after the active object, and place the selected objects in it. Content can be linked or moved, and the collection can be created in either the active collection, the active object's collection, or the scene collection.
There is also an option to compensate the collection instancing offset by using the active object location at the time the operator is used.
Transform menu:
- Align selected objects to 3d cursor/active object
- Selected objects "look at" 3d cursor/active object

- Save current selection to slot
- Load selection from slot
- Select empties by shape
