I will add it to the list (but I don't even have it installed on my 
computer...)

Actually the terminators don't matter, because it accepts any character 
as terminator.
But I listed they explicitely, in case I want to add some special 
characters, so no one  would use them as terminator.
(e.g. * was added, so people could use ?m*.ext to repeat the command for 
all files starting with a file name and ending with ext. And ?a*.ext 
should repeat the command for all ext-files in the directory, although 
that seems to be broken...)

I don't like to type anything at all (we could add a insert filename button)

Well the  escape sequences are mandatory.
And we would need new escape sequences like [[line]], ...
