Ok I will change the patch description.
I will try to document each control more elaborately and check the
control names again. I do understand your concern regarding the wrong
documentation, I will try to make more understandable and helpful.
I will expand the macro names in the next version. I will
create a menu for controls where it is applicable.
Thank you so much for your review.
