This is on the back of making Geany behave more like RStudio for interactive use with things like R or Python.

While now it is easy to “Send selection to terminal” (by setting send_selection_unsafe=true in geany.conf and assigning a key binding), after the line is sent the cursor doesn't move. In RStudio the cursor is being moved at the beginning of the next line. While the interest of this behavior will go down to preference, having used it for some time I find it useful.

Thus it would help to have a move_down_after_send_selection=true option, which would:

• when the cursor is on a line and nothing is currently selected, after "sending selection to terminal" (i.e. the current line) move the cursor one line down at the beginning of that line
• when there is a selection, whether on a line or spanning several lines, after "sending selection to terminal" do nothing with the cursor and maintain current selection (i.e. current behavior)
• (optional) when the next (few) line(s) is (are) empty, then move cursor to the next line that is not empty. Personally I never got along with this, so not sure if it's a good idea to implement, but this is how RStudio works right now.

This would make things friendlier for those using R or Python in interactive mode.
