Allow for auto-selecting of new task - even when using Smart Add

I note that autoselecting a newly added task was disabled due to the fact that Smart Add allows you to set properties.

However, there are at least 3 reasons why it would still be useful to have the new task autoselected (even when using Smart Add):

1. Immediately review the task you added to make sure details are correct

2. you make a mistake with one of the properties and you immediately want to edit

3. some properties (e.g. Notes) can not be set via Smart add.

Actually, I do not understand why we cannot have Smart Add and have the task autoselected anyway. What is it about Smart Add that prevents you from doing this?

This idea is considered similar to "After the addition of a new task, keep it selected", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
