I don't have a whole lot to add to the discussion just yet (but allowing e.g. RMB or even MMB is a neat idea to double or triple the options at hand), but:

Reasonal defaults would be

[…]
* Linux: Super for multiple carets, Ctrl+Shift for rectangular selection

Actually, given GNOME uses Super, Alt might be a better default. I can actually change the modifier in my WM, and maybe others (maybe even GNOME Shell??), so that's also an option. I don't even remember what the default is for mine, I might very well have changed it 10+ years ago and forgotten about it.
If it's configurable, I don't think it's a big deal, but it should be reasonable for "most" users.

(and the whole Geany keybinding UI should be changed to fixed key combo selectable action, but I won't mention it to avoid @b4n throwing things at me ;-).

Well, it's just unreasonable to have "fixed key combo" 🙂 : not everybody has a 105 keyboard with a boring keymap. And -- sit down, it's gonna be huge -- keyboards got even weirder keys since the early 70s (media keys, random accelerators and whatnot), so not only is it unrealistic to list them all, but just think about the sheer amount of entries -- even with your 105 US layout keyboard, you still got 105 keys and at least 3 modifiers if not 4 (I have like ~5).
So… no, I don't think it's a good idea indeed 😁

We could even argue something similar for mice, there can be more than 3 buttons (or less cough macos cough) I hear.
