Not sure what you mean by "fold level". I meant "brackets" in the
general sense ( [], {}, () ). That is, you've got text that looks
like:

{
    [
        hello
        func(foo bar baz)
    ]
    bye
}

and you've got your cursor on the "bar", then you hit Shift-Alt-B and
get "foo bar baz" selected. For extra geek points for Geany, if you
hit Shift-Alt-B again, the selection would expand to get "func" and
"hello" also (including the parentheses) -- and tap it again to get
the "bye" (and square brackets) in there too.
