I manipulate a lot of images.
I find it time consuming to click eg. 

filters-->blur-->Gaussian--> ok
then
Colors --> saturation --> Ok
then
filters-->enhance-->sharpen--> ok

then repeat the whole sequence for 1000+ images.

I prefer:
to be able to put Shortcut icons for predefined options in tools eg. Blur icon with predefined blurring.
to be able to group actions in new shortcut icons e.g blur-sharpen-saturation -> BSS shortcut icon.

In that way, the whole image processing will be speed up


I dont know if someone can make an addon for such thing.
It will be HUGE advantage of GIMP.

You could assign short-cut keys for these actions - "Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts" then type (for instance) gauss into the search box.
Yeah i know that. It is not useful to me. Because, you must make "triple keys" eg. cntrl+shift+w and even then may interference with my system. So it is totally inconvenient. On other hand, a bar with shortcut icons of blur, saturation and sharpen will make this in just 3-clicks instead of "9 keys". No the sequence of filters may be altered or used also some others. It is inconvenient to make "ton of shortkeys". on the other hand 5-7 icon custom-made shortcuts could easily speed this process. Thanks anyway for your answer.

What you need is the customizable toolbar - something that is on the development roadmap but don't hold your breath!

Go to the top menu Help > Bug report and Feature request, a new tab on your browser will open > it's the GIMP bug report and feature request page > there you can ask the GIMP team to put more button's options in the toolbox beside the "Levels, Curves and so..." which are already there in the Preferences

If you haven't already reassigned them the numeric keys 2, 3, 4 and 5 with and without Shift would give you 4 single key and 4 double keys to which you could assign the filters/tools that you want. The default settings for these keys just set zoom levels and I, for one, never use them (I only use 1 to get a 1:1 zoom and I reassign Shift+1 to be Fit Image in Window).
