"I do it in the same way, even the "dummy-method" I have tried, but I 
felt quite stupid doing this ;)
Seriously, shouldn't a professional software like Blender have
basic features like that?
You will say yes, but why don't all the coders out there
understand the urgent need for it?"

This isn't the sort of attitude that motivates volunteers to spend their 
time creating features for you. This expectation that developers should 
somehow feel obligated to give you something valuable for free simply 
isn't reasonable. The best you can do is ask nicely. Nobody owes you 
anything so you can't fault anyone for a lack of effort to make Blender 
into what *you* need as a user. Perhaps change your approach and be more 
polite and you'll have a more favorable response. Just my two cents.
