Dear all, Can I use Geany to select multiple, non-adjacent lines? I looked into the extra selection plugin, but it doesn't seem to support this. For example I want to select line 3, then hold ctrl and select line 7; then press delete.
Regards, Liviu

No you can't, Geany doesn't use scintilla multiple selections. Note that Scite doesn't either, wonder why?

A lot of the extra select plugin deals with rectangular selections, which are a bit of a mess in Scintilla, and incompatible with multiply selections. So if you find some way to select multiply pieces of text, you'd better _deactivate_ geanyextrasel to avoid collisions. I have no plans to support multiply selections.
For example I want to select line 3, then hold ctrl and select line 7; then press delete.
In X11, Ctrl+Mouse traditionally does rectangular selection, if supported, and Alt+Mouse moves the current window (WM-dependent).
