<p>Geany does not support multiple selections.  Adding it would require changing everything inthe Geany ecosystem, including all plugins to accept multiple selections.  Since there are much more compelling use-cases for multiple selections, and they have not offered enough benefit for "somebody" to do the large amount of work needed, then this is unlikely to do so.</p>

<p>Adding it in a plugin as <a href="https://github.com/b4n" class="user-mention">@b4n</a> said restricts what it would affect.</p>
