Hi, I know that currently, Geany cannot edit multiple lines at once form the end of the lines when the lines have different length. I just found out a kind of glitch that allows you to do it just for one char. I just share it here.
- Make a rectangular selection over the lines you want to edit and be sure to be on the right of the longest line.
- Type the space key so that all lines will be padded on their right with spaces until the end of your rectangular selection.
- While keeping the multiline cursor active (do not click anywhere in the text), then go to the menu and click on Document > Strip trailling spaces (not sure about the exact name in English).
- You will see that each cursor will go at the end of their lines.
- You are free now to type the char you want.
- Unfortunately, once you have pressed a key, the cursor will go again at the end of the rectangular selection.
- It's a bit tedious but at least you can add whatever you want at the end of multiple lines with different length in our favorite editor.
I am a big fan of Geany as a quick and simple text / editor. I am looking forward to see it implemented.
