Hi All,
Geany 1.2.8
The Secondary Selection clipboard in not working. This is a real productivity killer as the cursor keeps flying around.
[editorial comment] AAAAA HHHHHH !!!!! [/editorial comment]
Where do I go to report this?
Many thanks, -T
p.s. for those you who don't know what I am talking about, here is a good video that describes all four X11 clipboards.

Hi,
Geany uses the GTK GUI toolkit which does not and will not (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2016-August/msg00039.html) implement the secondary selection I'm afraid.
Cheers Lex

Osmo used GTK and it works. Let me ask him if he is using the GTK Tool Kit.

Sorry, I should have given more info:
$ rpm -qa geany geany-1.28-2.el7.x86_64
Thanks, but it probably doesn't matter.
Note that Geany does not just run on Linux X11, it also runs on Windows and OSX and Linux Wayland all of which do not support the secondary selection.
Unless it involves almost no effort, its unlikely that code to support just one backend on one platform would be added even if someone provided a PR.

I would hope after they see you can pop text all over the place without losing your cursor position, they would jump at it. It is EXTREMELY useful.
Did you look at the video?

So really what you are after is to be able to paste at a different position without moving the cursor? That would have to be added to the Scintilla (www.scintilla.org) editing widget Geany uses. At the moment it only supports paste at the cursor position AFAICT (http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#CutCopyAndPaste).
