Scintilla will be changing the key/mouse binding for rectangular selection, as per:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/scintilla-interest/kZcE8firI3A/dsBn0joZAwAJ
Since Geany doesn't support multiple selections, and almost every X11 window manager captures <kbd>Alt</kbd>+drag for moving a window (has saved my bacon on a number of occasions), before this change lands in Geany, I propose we change Scintilla's new default back to the existing behaviour. While it's annoying that the Windows and non-Windows behaviour would remain inconsistent, it will probably save a lot of bug reports about this feature not working, and avoid having to change any related documentation as well.
Ideally anyone interested would make this user configurable (if it is already, I couldn't find it) in the process.
Yes, and accidental multiple cursor creation needs to be disabled since Geany does not support multiple cursors.
Saucefudge is hard to use, but I think Neil committed it to Scintilla 4 not the long term 3 branch, so we have some time, just look out for backports.
Nobody planning to implement this feature into geany ? :disappointed: I think the multi-cursor is a killer feature that should be available in geany as it is available in scintilla.
@sagarchalise nice of you to volunteer to change every line of editing code in Geany to handle multiple cursors instead of only one :wink:
Fixed in #2011.
Closed #1568.
