I wrote a patch that implements that feature. I tried to follow the same
style of the rest of the code, but if anyone thinks the patch is not
good enough, just talk to me and I will change it as needed.

I didn't made any changes to the curses or gtk UI. Both because I don't
use it and I wanted to see if the developers think I have the right idea
first. I intend to patch them later on if this patch is considered
useful.
