I put it to the TODO list.

This is already on the TODO list.

Unsure whether I implement this, but probably I will rewrite the whole
compiling and building section and I will this keep in mind.

I don't think that this will be implemented because this causes too much
code to be changed, sorry.

Yes, it was already mentioned, it is on the TODO list, but at the moment
I have no idea how to implement.

Ok, when I implement a project management I will do this, but this would
take some(i.e. a lot of ;-)) time.

Ok, will be done when I implement the customizable short-keys.

Thanks for your suggestions.
