It would help to know what you're trying to achieve, and what you're
currently doing :)
AFAICT you didn't mention that in either threads -- or I missed it.

FWIW, you can use pretty much all of the Scintilla message API for
interacting with the document, in addition to helpers & co Geany might
expose, see https://scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html
