So really what you are after is to be able to paste at a different
position without moving the cursor?  That would have to be added to
the Scintilla (www.scintilla.org) editing widget Geany uses.  At the
moment it only supports paste at the cursor position AFAICT
(http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#CutCopyAndPaste).
