Scintilla will be changing the key/mouse binding for rectangular selection, as 
per:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/scintilla-interest/kZcE8firI3A/dsBn0joZAwAJ

Since Geany doesn't support multiple selections, and almost every X11 window 
manager captures <kbd>Alt</kbd>+drag for moving a window (has saved my bacon on 
a number of occasions), before this change lands in Geany, I propose we change 
Scintilla's new default back to the existing behaviour. While it's annoying 
that the Windows and non-Windows behaviour would remain inconsistent, it will 
probably save a lot of bug reports about this feature not working, and avoid 
having to change any related documentation as well.

Ideally anyone interested would make this user configurable (if it is already, 
I couldn't find it) in the process.
