This is not directly available in base Geany and AFAIK not in any of the 
plugins collection.  Would be best in a plugin.

The workaround is to copy and paste in a new file, `select ctrl+c ctrl+n 
ctrl+v` and 
[saveactions](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#instant-save) can 
even make it a  file automatically and you can save-as with your own name.

There is no ability to do anything with a closed file, it has to be opened, 
this ensures that encoding issues have been addressed so that non-UTF-8 content 
is not pasted into the buffer.  When open `ctrl_a` selects the whole file for 
you to copy and paste.

Not sure why you can't copy and paste to R, that sounds like an R problem.  I 
don't have R but can successfully copy and paste into the Python terminal.
