This is just copied from below in the same function. sel is a gchar
array and therefore

sel = sci_get_contents_range(editor->sci, line_start, line_start + buf_len);

wouldn't work:

error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘gchar[256]’ from
type ‘gchar *’

It seems that C doesn't allow casting into an array type either.
Changing sel to gchar* would mean updating the whole function, but I
wouldn't want to undertake that as it's only my first patch to Geany.
For the sake of consistency, I think it makes sense to keep
sci_get_text_range for now. Similarily, appending '\0' happens below
as well and it can't hurt in any case.

Best regards,

Tambet
