How can I (quickly) add a feed without using the (slow) Discover feeds feature?

[Korb]

As a new user, it's pretty obvious to me that if I have feed links, I need to use any of the following methods to add them to the app:

• Feeds > Add item > Add new feed
• RMB on any account or category on the side panel > Add new feed
• Press the hotkeys associated with this command (displayed in the main menu, in the context menu, and on the Tools > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts screen)

However, selecting any path opens the Discover feeds dialog, which seems to allow the only thing you can do with the pasted link is click the Discover button, wait about a minute, then select a feed from the list, and only then click Import checked feeds and move on to the next link (or close the dialog). 30 links = half an hour.

I don't understand: if I've already copied the feed link to the clipboard, why can't I just spend a few seconds adding the feed from the copied link? Instead, I wait for the app to parse the site and offer me a list of all the feeds found (including the one I need to add to the app?

If the app already has a way to quickly add new feeds, then it's not obvious, and something needs to be done about it.

Upd. For example, adding handling for pressing Shift + Enter when focusing on the URL field would trigger the download of the text and title values ​​of the feed, adding the feed to the current location, and closing the Discover feeds window.

add feed -> Advance mode

add feed -> Advance mode

There are no such commands in the Keyboard shortcuts list, but there is Add new feed. I assume that in the first case we are talking about her. By Advance mode, you probably mean Add single feed with advanced details (hereinafter simply Add single feed…). It's disabled. (However, the link status in the URL field says URL is valid.) Switch to advanced mode? But even if the Add single feed... button weren't disabled, the quick way to add a new feed without parsing would look like this:

1. Press the Discover feeds keyboard shortcut (obviously, the command name must match the dialog it invokes)
2. (switch from the keyboard to the mouse, because there is no hotkey for the Add single feed… button)
3. Click the Add single feed… button
4. Click the Feed title field (because they are not filled in automatically in this mode)
5. (switch from the mouse to the keyboard)
6. Manually fill in the Title field
7. Press Enter

This method is faster than the one described in the first message, but, my g-d, seven steps including manually filling in feed data with a link like google.com/alerts/feeds/1351721429/23926197436?!
