It had been possible for a short while, somewhere in 2004. I had 
replaced some parts of the editor with code that did exactly what you 
want. But because some developers told me "not to replace working code 
with your poorly tested new code", I removed it again.

I would be happy to reintroduce my "poorly tested code" again, as it had 
worked great for me. :)
