[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Smaller horizontal auto-scroll jump when typing (#1952)

[elextr]

You need to understand the Scintilla terminology.

`In this document, 'character' normally refers to a byte even when multi-byte characters are used.`

`Positions within the Scintilla document refer to a character or the gap before that character.`

`There are places where the caret can not go where two character bytes make up one character.`

All of which means "move the caret one position" is to the next legal byte location the caret can occupy.  Approximately one display character.
