Request: add contact from the search bar

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when someone tells me their phone number and I need to open a contacts app, then click add new, then click the phone number and type in what they tell me, then click back and add their name.

Describe the solution you'd like Either as a second option when you type a phone number, or a different action when you long press the "call xxx", to create a contact. Either it opens a different app, or it requires some different syntax like

555 555 5555 is John Galt

Will create a new contact with that name and number and keep you on the search screen. Personally I like this second option better, but it has the problem that it doesn't advertise itself - hell, for all I know KISS has this functionality under some different syntax. I would suggest having a toggle for the functionality under search settings to advertise it if added.

Describe alternatives you've considered, or that are already available within KISS Whatever the deep link for adding a contact, assuming KISS can do deep links as a custom search option. But I didn't find any documentation about what the link is or if KISS can handle that in my search.

Edit: another alternative would be to show sms option for random phone numbers as well as contacts. Then you can click to send them an sms, and add contact through there. The reason you can't do this by calling is well, you don't always want to call a new contact. This is a feature of TBog's TinyBit launcher fork, and will probably get me to switch :p

Would you be able to contribute code? KISS is open-source, and suggestions are welcomed from everyone --- but if you can contribute, it'll probably speed up the process.

Yes, but I'll need to be pointed where to look. I don't do android development much
