I also think that if we want to keep a mouse binding for "go to tag", we could choose something less common -- Ctrl+Alt, Super, whatever uncommon modifier. Do we want to keep one?
Maybe Alt+Click under *nix, and either Alt+ or Ctrl+ Click under Windows, depending on which modifier does rectangle selection. In my WM Alt+Click triggers move window, but after a short timeout.
As you say alt+click is used by window managers so thats not appropriate (even if it has a timeout, hesitation will cause different behavior).
IMHO no Geany function is *so* important that it should be exclusively bound to mouse clicks, potentially blocking something else, so I don't think we should keep such a binding.
agree on both
Finally, although it's probably obvious, the multi-select feature should have a keybinding.
Cursor movement clears at least the primary selection, and multicursors clears all selections on arrow. Since the keyboard navigation is problematic, I'm not sure how useful a keybinding will be.
The HIG defines ctrl-<cursor key> to move the cursor without modifying the selection, but unfortunately Scintilla binds these to move by word :( If that was fixed it would work ok.

IMO Replace and Toggle Case must be updated to work properly.

Just document them to only work on single selection would be ok.
Or block them for now if multiply selections exist? SCI_GETSELECTIONS.
Maybe, but then how do you tell the user? dialog? etc IMHO it gets too much code for too little return.
i just updated "replace in selection" to correctly handle multiselections, it's on my enable-multislection branch
...but still i cannot find the "toggle case" command :/

"Rectangular selections are handled as multiple selections although the original rectangular range is remembered so that subsequent operations may be handled differently for rectangular selections. For example, pasting a rectangular selection places each piece in a vertical column." from Scintilla.
Doesn't say how its "remembered" though.
IIRC, the main (stream) and rectangular selections are stored as caret position + anchor position + caret virtual space + anchor virtual space, similar to ScintillaDoc.html#SelectionAndInformation api-s.
Maybe I'm having a bad day, but how does that tell us it is rectangular vs multiple?
