Shade smooth/flat toggle
The 2 commands "shade smooth" and "shade flat" should be merged into a single command named something like "toggle shading" That way I only need to add 1 more thing to my Quick Favorites menu instead of 2.
This new command should also display a operator panel after being used that contains the Normals Auto Smooth checkbox and Auto Smooth Angle value box.
It is possible to add the checkbox to the Quick Favorites menu but it is not possible to add the value box. New users (and 1 year experienced users who have added the Auto Smooth checkbox to their Quick Favorites menu) have a hard time remembering where in the side panel they need to dig to find this thing. If it showed up in the operator panel after using the toggle it would be more convenient.

A toggle is not ideal for the obvious reasons... 🙂
* @TheRedWaxPolice * Fill me in. It's not obvious to me.

* @thinsoldier * Sorry for the late response. But yeah, it's not ideal when you're working with multiple objects. Imagine if you have a bunch of objects that you want to apply a smooth shading, but some of those objects are already smooth shaded and you didn't noticed because they are many objects... What a toggle command would do in such case? It would turn the smooth shaded objects into flat and the flat shaded objects into smooth, which is not what I want. That's why it needs to be two different commands to avoid those issues.
IMO, those two options should be removed, and we should use the auto smooth function only, but they say that there are performance issues. So yeah..
I hope you understand.... My english sucks.
Yes, I understand now.

Or just "shade smooth" check box...
