+1 on having it directly in Geany from me as well. My quick-search plugin works that it highlights all instances the moment your cursor highlights any text (any changes to the selection). That may be a potential way to have it work.
As another enhancement that could/should be in core geany, I suggest having the find-in-files via grep dialog allow you to navigate to the matches without having to double click (just simple selection) and keeping the focus on the search results. Support for ack-grep and/or silversearcher-ag and/or moving to the side panel would be nice too.
My quick-find plugin already behaves this way, but having this functionality in core may be preferred since searching is already integrated in geany. (quick-find also keys off of the current path in treebrowser as a directory base for the search, or uses the project if it can't find treebrowser. I used similar functionality in a python plugin for gedit2, so that's why I created quick-find.)
While nobody else seems to be using my plugins at present, I've been using them full time for work, and they are pretty stable. I hope nobody is annoyed I keep mentioning them. Any advice on how I might get them read for geany-plugins is appreciated. I just haven't gotten around to it.
