It would be great to have the ability to create multiple carets, select multiple pieces, or progressively clone a selection of a word to the next identical match creating multiple selections, not necessarily square, and then be able to type, delete, replace, etc. using the multiple carets until Esc is hit, pasting into all carets with Ctrl-V, and so on.
Here's an animated demonstration of these features: https://www.sublimetext.com/
This is Sublime Text's killer feature, and this would put Geany closer to one of the most reputed, feature rich commercial multiplatform editors, while still being free software. I believe there's support for this in Scintilla, at least to some extent.
This supersets #850.

This patch adds a simple API allowing LSP plugins to take control of certain Geany built-in features and disabling their implementation in Geany. Currently, autocompletion, calltips, and going to definition/declaration is supported.
Plugins should define the Lsp struct, fill the pointers to the functions implementing the features they override, and register themselves using the lsp_register() call. Similarly, they should unregister themselves using lsp_unregister() when they don't want to provide the Lsp features any more, or, latest, when the plugin gets unloaded.
Each of the currently supported features is implemented using two functions - one checking whether Lsp plugin will override Geany's behavior of this feature, and the other function implementing the feature. For instance for autocompletion:
- autocomplete_available(doc) should return TRUE if the plugin performs autocompletion for the doc's filetype. This function is used to deactivate Geany's autocompletion when the Lsp plugin supports it.
- autocomplete_perform(doc) calls the corresponding interface of the LSP server (which responds asynchronously so when autocomplete_perform() is executed, the results won't be available yet)
The Lsp struct is padded with an array large enough to allow additions of many more functions to the struct and allowing binary compatibility with older LSP plugin versions not implementing all the functions. It's just mandatory that all plugins zero-initialize the allocated Lsp struct (either by creating it on the heap or by allocating it using g_new0() or similar function). NULL pointers in this struct are handled gracefully.
The current implementation supports only a single LSP plugin. However, if in the future arises the need for more LSP plugins running in parallel (e.g. a specialized LSP plugin for certain language together with the current "generic" LSP plugin), the implementation could be extended to support a list of Lsp structs and trying to call the functions defined by them one by one. The current interface should already be sufficient to support such an implementation.

Why PHP files doesn't have code folding available only for curly braces ? If I inherit direct C style rendering into custom/user filetypes.php, it works, but than, I need to add all the keywords manually, which is not a problem. It works. But than, again, `^$` (variables) are not painted ... unless I put that as well into `primary` keywords line ... but, then - again - I cannot change the color of the `$variable`, the same as other words/keywords and language constructs. In C style, no other keywords than `primary` is taken into account. Is there any workaround for this instead of using/importing C style filedef ?

After using Geany for almost a day using the Solarized Dark theme, I felt that the text in Geany was slightly harder to read than in Notepad++, an editor I've been using for the past couple years. At first I thought I was imagining things, but after taking screenshots from each editor and comparing them side-by-side with a magnifying glass, I finally figured out why: the font rendering in Geany is ever so slightly darker (or thinner?) than the font rendering in other code editors like Notepad++. Here is the comparison:
Notepad++ is on top and Geany is on the bottom. It is barely noticeable in the image above, but if you zoom in and use the eyedropper tool you will find that the colors in Geany are darker than the ones in Notepad++:
Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this than others, but after spending a day editing code containing lots of strings using the Solarized Dark theme, I find that the code in Geany is slightly harder to read.
I'm not sure how to categorize this because I suspect it is related to the native font rendering engine that is used in Geany.

With Geany 2.0 there is a new question for **Search and Replace** dialog:
**Are you sure to replace in the whole session?**
I'm against, this is unacceptable for me.
Is there, or can you add an option to disable it?

Currently, if a link is clicked in the markdown preview, said link is opened in the preview tab itself, instead of calling my main browser.
This might be the desired outcome for relative links, but in my case opening youtube in the embedded browser led to audio glitches and then a nice crash.
Maybe a configurable option? Or absolute links in browser, relative in preview?
Thanks for your work, guys.

I have been using geany with the vimode plugin. Just wanted to share a few places where I found bugs.
1. I am not able to enter normal mode whenever the number lock is on.
2. when I delete a line using the command `dd` the page shifts down till the point the cursor is at the top. Whereas it should have gone the line below and not shifted the page, And when I undo after deleting the line (I have seen this behavior in this particular case only) the cursor goes to the bottom of the document.

I turn on `vimode` in Geany, had it on before but have toggled it off/on, after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 and there is no Visual Mode anymore even though the cursor changes it still is in Insert Mode with no way to go to Visual Mode.
