Power Windows and keyframe

About Power Windows: (same issue than version 11)

> The difference between their names in their panel and the Keyframe Editor.
In panel: big icons and no name (custom name allowed)
In Keyframe Editor: no icon and descriptive name we can't change.

We need a common way of showing things.
In Power Window panel, I think naming them by default beside their icon. And if we customize the names, the Keyframe Editor must change too. A little more job for developpers...

When keyframing (which can be a really unpleasing task), we have to refer to multiple text lines inside which we have to retrieve the good one. I often add a keyframe at the wrong trackline.

The shortcut Ctrl + [ works fine but add keyframes in all lines. If I had previously insert static animations keys, the shortcut inserting dynamic keys breaks that.
We have to be able to select the right line only. Clic the line, add keyframes.
When I click the little dots and/or lock the track, and shortcut Ctrl + [ same thing, keys added in all tracks.

I can't select a single line (for example the Linear Win) to ensure that I add keyframe only there. When working with mutiple Power Windows becomes quickly a nightmare.

In Keyframe Editor:
The 1st Power Window created by default is named "Circ Win".
The 2nd of the same type created by hand is named: "Circ Win 1".

There's a naming convention problem here. When I see the presence of the default Window, it's the 1st one for me. When I create another one, it's the second.

Default name should be:
- Circ Win 1
- Circ Win 2

or

- Circ Win
- Circ Win 2 (start counting at 2 instead of 1)
