Sure, it was just around 6 a.m. after a long night of coding and I was
that tired that I did not feel comfortable writing a mail in English
;)

Well, you'll get your error checking. I thought long about it and even
if it might create some problems I don't see another technical
solution at the moment.

Yes. I implemented for now your suggestions but it makes nearly no
work to change the strings as long as it is only a string change.

Now to my problems:

After implementing parts of the "Select Range" button I think it is
redundant. If you want to see the range then you can either go to the
range line directly or click the button after the range line and the
range is highlighted in the document. I think that for nearly all use
cases this should be enough.

I hope that beginning of next week the first big part of my work hits
master. It is only a rough plan and I'll drop you a second note as
soon as I pushed all my changes and think it is ready for some first
tests by you.

Regards,
Markus

P.S. Sorry for my bad english but it is again 8 a.m. after a long night coding.
