@Skif-off
Skifff! Thank you for working on this.
See, was not creating intrigue, it was more difficult then it seemed wasn't it 
:)

Not going to get into explanation because you went a different route, but when 
I had mentioned the 1 tool approach I was thinking of many different 
possibilities/combinations for how that could have been achieved but yes in 
certain scenarios 2 sets of keybindings would be required/more versatile.

-------------------------------------

SCRIPT 2 TEST RESULTS

With there not being many resources available to you for script, this is pretty 
good :)
I will share some pros and cons noticed during testing...
-Requires extra step to make selection, but good idea to be able to make use of 
the current functionality offered
-Cannot move more then one code fold at a time
-Because based on "move line" actions, still limited to moving up/down one line 
at a time
-Can be a little tricky when using things like xml files, depending on where 
caret is placed because these files are often many different "levels".  If 
place caret in the tag names themselves, the entire sections get selected.
However in some scenarios this could be a benefit because makes selection of 
more then one code fold at a time

-Was trying to find any Geany developers interested in adding more visual 
elements regarding code folds to make them standout more to users but does not 
seem that any are interested.  Also many of my ideas possibly require updates 
to Scintilla which I no longer have support for.  With the script you have 
provided being based on selection it kind of can double in certain scenarios as 
being a visual indication of code fold contents, so that is an unexpected 
benefit.

-------------------------------------

I am going to update my Geany request post about this topic, but again that 
post has not received any responses so developers might not be currently 
interested in this idea either, but I think still worth mentioning.

So that leads me to my next questions...
How much progress have you made learning Geany coding, are you ready to make 
the updates required for this to work? :)
Also I requested you learn FP and Lazarus, how is that going?  I spent a lot of 
time making many many posts that require FP and Lazarus coding knowledge, 
before realizing that I probably should not be putting time into them.  So when 
you are done with these Geany updates, if you could start working on those FP 
and Lazarus coding based posts that would be great :)

Thank you very much for looking into this and for working on multiple 
solutions.  The fact that you were able to get anything to work for this is 
great, especially with there not being many resources available through Lua 
itself.
If I hear anything about these keybindings being added to Geany I will let you 
know.

Thanks again
