In theory:
```lua
local function GetEmptyLines(sLE, iLE)
  local sR = ""
  for i = 1, iLE do sR = sR .. sLE end
  return sR
end

local aEOL = {"\r\n", "\r", "\n"}
local iEOL = geany.scintilla("SCI_GETEOLMODE")
local sAdd = GetEmptyLines(aEOL[iEOL + 1], 15)

local iCurPos = geany.caret()
local iL, iC = geany.rowcol(iCurPos)
iCurPos = geany.scintilla("SCI_GETLINEENDPOSITION", iL - 1)
geany.caret(iCurPos)
geany.selection(sAdd)
geany.caret(iCurPos + string.len(aEOL[iEOL + 1]))
```

```lua
local function GetEmptyLines(sLE, iLE)
  local sR = ""
  for i = 1, iLE do sR = sR .. sLE end
  return sR
end

local aEOL = {"\r\n", "\r", "\n"}
local iEOL = geany.scintilla("SCI_GETEOLMODE")
local sAdd = GetEmptyLines(aEOL[iEOL + 1], 25)

local iLines = geany.height()
local sTxt = geany.text()
geany.text(sTxt .. sAdd)
local iCurPos = geany.rowcol(iLines + 1, 0)
geany.caret(iCurPos)
```

It seems, the second script did not work correctly:
```lua
local iCurPos = geany.rowcol(iLines + 1, 0)
```
but in this moment, the line with the number `iLines + 1` does not yet exist.

P.S.

> I do not think I ever heard it called a “caret” before.

"Cursor" can be either a "text cursor" or a "mouse cursor", maybe this is the 
reason? In any case, this word is an adequate word and can be seen in the 
documentation of various projects.
