You mentioned whether there's already some way to do it, and asked
wheter you should just write elisp.

I'm answering to the effect that there's no existing command to do
what u want, and suggest that writing your own elisp command is
probably best solution, and gave you tips from my website tutorial on
how this could be done.

what u want can be written in 30 minutes for me. I'm sure most emacs
developers can write it in 10 min.
