That's true, if someone has time to make a more precise documentation?

Good idea!

What exactly do you mean? Can you give an example (with a picture if 
possible)?

I'll change it to a simple text field, I think it's the best idea... 
Maybe there would be situations where we would need the actual mode

It's already added in the 0.9.2 version.

Thanks for your idea!
