[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Persistent blocks? (Issue #3079)

[elextr]

Scintilla (the editing widget Geany uses) defines the selection as the text between a specified "anchor" position and the current position so it follows the cursor, so not what you want.  But since other markers are available you might be able to make a plugin to provide the behaviour you want but its pretty unlikely it will happen in Geany itself, more likely would be that multiple selections would be supported.

Google results depend on what you have been searching for (that "algorithm" remember) I got one reference to an MC change request adding a "persistent blocks" option but with no documentation on what it was, and then google switched to persistent disk and memory and other persistents. Google persistently persisted in having no persistent memory of persistent blocks (on page one, who looks beyond that?).
