Try to test this variant
```lua
-- Replace-text.lua (cross-platform)
-- 2026.07.13
--[[
Find & replace by list. See the "aFR" table (the third parameter is the
parameters of the "geany.find" function, see
https://plugins.geany.org/geanylua/geanylua-ref.html).
Idea: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/issues/1590
P.S. If the found string is located at the beginning of the selection,
then for some reason after the replacement the selection starts AFTER
the replacement string. So, we will "restore" the selection.

I tried to use `geany.find` and `SCI_REPLACETARGET` instead of built-in Lua
functions, it was assumed that this would require less attention to restoring
the cursor position and/or selection :) Also this allows to use more familiar
regular expressions (instead of Lua patterns) and doesn't require UTF-8 support
(case sensitivity and so on) in Lua.
