Heh, I wasn't actually trying to do that, but while you are there, "just" a
menu item and keybinding to go. :grin:
I was actually trying to suggest to be patient until the Scintilla 4 upgrade,
the "it needs c++17" excuse is getting
Ok @elextr you talked me into looking into the code finally. I've got it
working with the current Scintilla.
### line 167 geany/scintilla/src/Editor.cxx:
**from** `multiPasteMode = SC_MULTIPASTE_ONCE;`
**to** `multiPasteMode = SC_MULTIPASTE_EACH;`
Note, beware that most of the Scintilla multiple selection documents section is
only for Scintilla 4, which Geany does not use, and which could allow the whole
area of rectangular/multiple selections and pastes to be re-assessed.

@AdamDanischewski in this case you don't need an option, just put both items in
the menu, and make both keybindable and bind one or both by default.
But note that I doubt that multipaste will help with pasting the output of
`send selection to` since it would paste the multiple lines on every
@Akronix I agree with your sentiments on this.
@elextr I would be fine with there being an option for it.
Perhaps it could be the default provided no one can give a better use case for
it not being. To only paste one line when a vertical multiple line
selection/rectangular selection were held
Voting? Why is it that everyone wants to cut off an option thats useful in
some situations in favour of an option thats useful in others, as I said on
#850 why not have __BOTH__ and which is default can be set from an option.
[start rant] I'm getting sick of people who assert that their
I still strongly think that a single-line copy should paste repeatedly in as
many lines selected as they are. That's why you did the multi-line selection
after copying and that's the quickest way to append certain text to lines that
are similar in structure (like tabular data for instance). I
@ntrel Yea, I played around with it before and it's expected behavior. I kind
of think multi-paste should work the way @Akronix mentioned in #850. If you
have one line and then make a vertical selection (rectangular selection) that
it multi-pastes across the entire selection but there's still
To expand, basically its the Scintilla paste into rectangular selections
default behaviour. Scintilla does have another option SCI_MULTI_PASTE to do it
differently, but I'm not sure how much use it would be in this use-case.

`Send selection to` pastes its result into the selection, thats why its the
same issue.

@elextr actually those issues are about pasting, not about Send selection to.
Surely that's a separate issue?

Yep thats known behaviour see also #625 #841 #850 #1083 several of which were
opened by or commented on by one@AdamDanischewski (mentioning no names :)
This whole thing will need

@AdamDanischewski if you have time, could you file this as a separate issue
please? Note the manual calls 'vertical selection' rectangular selection.

@intact Yep yep! That plugin does the job - thanks! I didn't notice it for some
reason.
If you are running Geany 1.36 you can add them by:
```
$> git clone https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins.git
$> ./autogen.sh
$> ./configure
$> make
$> mkdir mylib; find . -type f -name '*.so' -exec cp
@intact: ooops, of course. Did totally oversee that.

As an alternative to the possible feature name _"Increment selection"_ I
suggest _"Enumerate selection"_.

It should be possible to configure a *Format->Send selection to* command with
awk to do this. Although Windows users won't have awk (perhaps we could bundle
it if small enough). Also perhaps some preset awk commands with meaningful
labels would help.

@AdamDanischewski: thanks, I think we have enough information :smile: IMHO this
can be implemented in a new plugin or maybe better as an extension of the
Line-Operations plugin.

Sublime also has Increment Selection - I guess that's what it should be
called?? - available via the Increment Selection package:
This feature is also available in Visual Studio via extension:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=albymor.increment-selection
I've been searching for vertical editing sequential numbering, I've found:
https://www.emeditor.com/text-editor-features/coding/multiple-selection-editing/how-to-use-vertical-editing/
On vertical selection, a menu option allows for sequential numbering to be
inserted. This would be a welcome
