Name actions with emojis and numbers to make them easier to find and understand the order

Sometimes we use a grouped action to start a cascade of other actions:
Copy the row, Execute an actions on a set of rows, Go to another view, ...
It may be hard to understand how they are connected. Especially if the actions work on different tables.

That's why I use a syntax with an Emoji and a number to show at which order-position each action is triggered.

Here is an example where 15 actions are involved in just one grouped action.
To find them, I simply enter the Emoji in the search bar.

That's interesting!  Thanks for sharing.

I use the same idea, though on a very different model. I defined a naming convention + make action icon hidden when not visible to users, so that I remember also that it's being called by another action. 
Here is an example with a set of actions relating to group "A_":

Any good practices coming from other users?

I have a question:

make action icon hidden


 

How can you do that, like in the photo you attached?

Just double-click on one icon, or select then unselect one.
