Make double-clicking a saved status activate it and close the window. This reduces the number of actions needed to activate a non-recent status from five (statusbox, saved, choose, use, close) to three (statusbox, saved, choose) at the cost of raising the number of actions needed to edit a status from three to four. Even if you edit statuses as often as you activate them, that's still a net reduction in actions. :-)
