[Github-comments] [geany] Selecting error lines (#899)

[Colomban Wendling]

I'm not quite sure how often it could be useful (nor exactly what you mean by "so that subsequent change operations can be restricted to them").  Performing the same action on all error lines would mean that they all have the same error, which is not very likely if there are more than one.
IMO your screenshot example is very marginal and specific.  Also, wouldn't it be served just fine replacing `\$w->` with `something::\0` on mostly the whole document (not only the error lines), or whatever the fix is?

This said, I'm not against such a possibility either, and it wouldn't be intrusive.  Could be done by a plugin, too, BTW.

But as Neil would said, "I won't be working on this myself".
