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

@elextr It does say that it uses Scintilla as the core text editing component, when I first browsed the code it looks like mainly lua, looking closer I see some calls that create a Scintilla document. See textadept.c line no. 1355. 

```
/**
 * Creates a new Scintilla document and adds it to the Lua state.
 * Generates 'buffer_before_switch' and 'buffer_new' events.
 * @param doc Almost always zero, except for the first Scintilla view created,
 *   in which its doc pointer would be given here since it already has a
 *   pre-created buffer.
 * @see lL_adddoc
 */
static void new_buffer(sptr_t doc) {
  if (!doc) {
    doc = SS(focused_view, SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT, 0, 0); // create the new document
    lL_event(lua, "buffer_before_switch", -1);
    lL_adddoc(lua, doc);
    lL_gotodoc(lua, focused_view, -1, FALSE);
  } else lL_adddoc(lua, doc), SS(focused_view, SCI_ADDREFDOCUMENT, 0, doc);
#if GTK
