//set should try to set the block that the player is holding

The Problem

A lot of typing when you just quickly fill an area for example:
You have searched for a block in the creative menu and put it in your inventory.
Now you have to type //set <block_type_id> which takes a bit of time depending on how fast you type and if you know the block_id for that block.
I know that this isn't that big of a problem this would be more of a Quality of life feature since you use the //set command a lot.

A Solution

The //set command should try to set the block the player is holding when running it with no args.
This should have a specific priority:

typed block>mainhand>offhand>error

This would skip the whole typing part without removing functionality for more complex set commands.

Alternatives

The Command suggestions could prioritize blocks that the player has in their inventory with the following priority.

• Hotbar 0-9(starting at 0)
• Inventory 0-26 (starting at 26? can be reversed)

Honestly this could be implemented to all commands
I don't know if this is technicly possible that's up to you to answer

Anything Else?

You can already do //set hand or //set offhand. Making this non-explicit is going to just introduce significant risk of typos leading to unexpected/problematic modifications.

yea but you can just undo so
and at that point u didnt really reduced time spend typing since you have to still type offhand or hand

defaulting like this would be unexpected behavior and is much more likely to lead to errors. hand isn't that hard an ask to type out.

This feature would significantly increase the risk of mistakes, which isn't something we want. It also significantly introduces risk of more major mistakes / confusion, especially with your suggestion of searching the inventory itself.
