Yes, I spoke privately with Eugene about such a useful feature to be
implemented in Geany. (This would allow me to give up with Gedit).
Another way to solve my problem would be to define a user-Keybinding
executing a sequence of Geany or user Keybindings, in this case the sequence
of the following keybindings :
<ctrl-X> (to cut the selection)
<ctrl-alt-S> (to insert HTML tags)
<ctrl-V> (to past the clipboard between 2 tags)
with the snippet :
strong=<strong>%cursor%</strong>
and the Keybinding :
[Keybindings]
strong=<Ctrl><Alt>s
