One problem with saying that basic features are missing is that different people have different views of what is basic. Heavy users of text messaging might say MMS is basic, but I couldn't care less about that. Hackers think that XTerm is basic.
I don't completely understand what you've written here, but I would suggest that you search the bug reports &, if you don't find anything, write it up. Or search forum threads for a workaround. That's how this forum works, as far as I can tell. No one here wants to read rants & they don't accomplish anything that I can see.

Same answer. There isn't a third-party app for this?

You mean how frequently it is updated? Wasn't there an update last week?
