Hi.

I've been using Geany for a couple decades. I also use the virtual terminal 
(VTE) a lot with my projects. So do I use addons' "_automatically enclose text 
without requiring shortcuts_" option a lot, too.

The trouble is the said addon module takes over even when the VTE is active 
and, for instance, when I type single or double quotes or even parentheses in 
the VTE, they are intercepted by the addon to enclose any selected text in the 
window that is currently visible. If any selection exists in the window, the 
character is swallowed and the selection is enclosed with that character. 
Consequently it is not echoed in the VTE.

This situation happens frequently, especially when I need to select something 
in a window and middle-click inside the VTE to paste it. I tried to pick the 
habit to also left-click once in the VTE to cancel the selection but it doesn't 
work (read: I forget most of the time). I tried coping with the bug but it 
doesn't work either; instead it has become extremely annoying. I've tried 
multiple times to inspect the source code and fix it myself in order to submit 
a patch and avoid bothering the developers but I have to confess I'm completely 
lost and have no idea what to do and how.

Is it possible to disable the enclosing features (both options, with and 
without shortcuts) at least when the VTE is active? See the picture below as to 
the options I'm referring to, with the one I use highlighted by me, which is 
the most critical:

I have Geany version 2.0-1 on Manjaro Linux x86_64, built on 23rd Oct. 2023.
