Change the default marker name + Media Pool scrubbing marker

My feature request will increase the speed and reduce the time of marking things of interest while scrubbing through a video.

For now, while scrubbing videos with the mouse in the viewer, I'm hitting M to put a marker on things I have to cut around. So it's pretty fast. A 30 mins video in less than a minute. BUT, I would LOVE to be able to set a default name (temporarily, or not) for these markers, not "marker 1, marker 2, etc". I can remember that all the blue markers are one particular thing but for organisation purpose, it's not that great. What I want is set a default "name" that will be used every time I hit "M", and change it (or disable it) at any time.

In my case right now, I'm marking all the appearance of someone in tons of videos, so I know where I have to look at later. I want to hit M, and have every default markers with the name "Ben" for example. (it's a continuity of my bad experience with the useless "Analyze clip for people")

(ctrl+m isn't helpful, it's slowing down things too much)

I would like to be able to that in the media pool too (and/or media page) while hovering the mouse on a clip. Be able to activate an "option" so every time I hit M, it puts a marker where the mouse is at.

I like this feature, every marker I create I have to hit:

1. Command+M
2. Shift+Up Arrow
3. Type Name

Would be nice to be able to set the box to blank to save step 2 each time, which is 100 times per project for me.
