Hi dev-list,
I have a question regarding the Scintilla code that is in the Geany repo. Is this raw code straight from Scintilla, or is it patched by Geany devs?
I ask because I'd like to submit a patch that involves the Scintilla code and would like to know if I can do that here or if I should contact the Scintilla devs.
Thanks
For the curious, the issue is trackpad scroll speed. I find that vertical scrolling does way too many lines at a time, making it hard to navigate a file. I've got it to my liking now, but I think others might be interested.

Please submit to Scintilla, note Geany uses Scintilla 3.x LTS version so it can be built with older C++ compilers so you probably need to make the change to Scintilla 4.x in Scite.

Hi Scintilla experts,
I want to insert text at the caret position when the caret is in virtual space, i.e. off the end of the line. Have tried SCI_REPLACESEL SCI_INSERTTEXT and sundry ways of trying to find the amount of virtual space. The problem with the latter is that there has to be a non-empty selection, and I can't make a selection without a position value. Of course Scintilla does it properly if a physical key is pressed, but darned if I can find a way to do it programmatically.
Thanks, Austin.

There is no way of inserting anything without characters (eg whitespace) before it, so you have to insert appropriate spacing to position whatever you want to place.
Scintilla itself can convert a screen position to a character position, so typing can be located by scintilla, but thats not possible programmatically, all programmatic interfaces are by character.
