· Fan On when printing top layer of infill
I'm not sure if it would be easier than hand editing but the Search and Replace plugin can add multiple commands when you separate each command with "\n" (backslash+n)
For example: You see in the Cura preview that you want 100% fan for layer 125. (Remembering that Cura uses base 1 numbering for layers and Gcode uses base 0 and that fans are PWM) a Search and Replace instance would be configured to:
Search = ;LAYER:124
Replace = ;Layer:124\nM106 S255
That would result in your gcode looking like:
;LAYER:124
M106 S255
Additional Search and Replace instances could turn the fan off or whatever. Layer numbers are consistent and easy to search for. You don't have to put the layer number back in during the replacement, but it makes it easier to check that the process worked.
I put in a request over on Github for a new feature to add a cooling profile. IdeaMaker has it and I've written my own post-processor to do the same thing. I think it would be handy (I almost typed "cool" but that would have been a terrible pun). I don't code in Python (and have no intention of learning how) so we'll see if somebody picks up the ball on that.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
