[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Multiple carets, selections, insertion points and paste (#1141)

[mprz1024]

It would be great to have the ability to create multiple carets, select multiple pieces, or progressively clone a selection of a word to the next identical match creating multiple selections, not necessarily square, and then be able to type, delete, replace, etc. using the multiple carets until Esc is hit, pasting into all carets with Ctrl-V, and so on.

Here's an animated demonstration of these features: https://www.sublimetext.com/

This is Sublime Text's killer feature, and this would put Geany closer to one of the most reputed, feature rich commercial multiplatform editors, while still being free software. I believe there's support for this in Scintilla, at least to some extent.

This supersets #850.
