No problem, Guido!
I write code like you and I understand perfectly the situation
But if you try to understand my situation you could understand that I 
can't say we can't implement the feature
If I can't do it with kupu I need to change the editor and do the job 
even if it take longer

If you make a first step-by-step description perhaps I could complete 
the help recipe with the next iterations

But I need an initial draft that could follow, something I could follow
