It would be really, really great to have 5 or so 'one-click' buttons with custom labels on the Actions tab of Mission Planner which could load pre-saved missions (and automatically upload and execute them if in Auto mode)*.

(*Primarily for APM:Plane but would be awesome for APM:Copter and APM:Rover too)

So, for example, the missions for a plane might be called "Take-off", "Survey1" and "Land at home".

If you clicked the "Take-off" mission button which would have been pre-saved as:

1) Take-off to 50m AGL,

2) RTL, then

3) Loiter unlimited.

Once in the air and in Loiter, you simply click "Survey1" button which could be saved as:

1) WP1,

2) WP2,

3) WP3,etc,

4) DO_JUMP>WP1".

and "Land at home" might be:

1) RTL, 

2) WP4,

3) WP5,etc,

4) Land.

So if you needed to RTL and land immediately after take off or halfway through the mission this would make it incredibly easy to do, instead of messing around with with the planner screens, right clicks, finding mission files, opening them, uploading them, going to actions tab, clicking restart mission, etc, etc.
