Tokens 3 x token bar - cull the long list of options to only the sensible items

For the 3 token bar options, the most sensible options are Ac, HP and a handful more such as initiative. however there are dozens and dozens of options that will clearly never be used Eg, would ever ever select.  hair colour !!!      It would not even fit. When setting up a new token it is a pain to have to scroll aaaaaaalllll the way down to the HP or worse NPC HP options could the list be culled to exclude the options which will clearly never be used. or at the very least can the following be put at the top of the list so that they are easier to pick - Ac - Hp - initiative, - .......some other sensible ones Attcak bonds, spell DC etc?
With support for so many character sheets for so many games, there is no way that Roll20 could "know" which fields to include and which to exclude. But this brings to mind a variant of this idea: add a feature to character sheet fields that allow a character sheet creator to mark a field as "linkable" or not in the HTML of the sheet. For example: <input type="text" class="inputbox" linkable="true" name="attr_str" title="str" value="0"> Or maybe a CSS class? <input type="text" class="inputbox tokenlink" name="attr_str" title="str" value="0"> Or maybe something in the field name? <input type="text" class="inputbox" name="linkattr_str" title="str" value="0">
Just as a tip, you can open the dropdown then type the first couple of letters and it will move to those letter. To get to the list faster.

The workaround to the problem of scrolling down to find, say, "npc_ac" is to type "n" when the dropdown menu appears, which jumps you to the attributes that start with n. Then you only have to scroll down a little bit to find "npc_ac." Edit: Kilter beat me to it. Hopefully the trick will save you some grief.
Thanks for the suggestions, somehow I had not thought of typing before scrolling!  You live and learn. still, I understand that there are lots of different games out there, but 5e, pathfinder and 2-3 more possibly make up 75% of the games played ( wild guess) you Could fix the token bar for those 5 and leave the rest ? Anyway not an end of the world problem, so I can live with it. more of a nice to do item rather than a need to do.
