Hi, @coises,
I’ve just tested your new v.0.7.1 release !
Let’s suppose that we marked the occurrences of the word test in the text below, that you’ll paste in a new tab :
bla
blah
This is the test to do
bla
blah
test
bla
blah
And that we checked the Bookmark lines when marking text (Shift: configure option, in the Tools menu
=> The line 4 and 7 are bookmarked and the two occurrences of the word test are marked
In an old post, I said that, in order to get the complementary regex, we had to use the ^((?!test).)*$ regex as below :

Luckily, there’s no need to find out this complementary regex, anymore :
First, mark all the occurrences of the word test.

Right-click within the bookmark margin of N++ and choose the Inverse bookmarks option.

Then, go to the Synchronize marks and bookmarks option of the Tools menu and choose the Mark all text in bookmarked lines and clear other marks option
=> You should get this snapshot :

Which correctly bookmarked all the lines not containing the word test and then marked all contents of the bookmarked lines, including the EOLs, as well !
I tested, both :
The Bookmark lines with marked text, and clear other bookmarks option VS the Add bookmarks to lines with marked text option
The Mark all text in bookmarked lines, and clear other marks option VS the Add marks to all text in bookmarked lines option
And, if I understand you correctly, you mean that the Synchronize marks and bookmarks sub-menu, in your future release, will look as below :
Bookmark lines with marked text, and clear other bookmarks
Bookmark visible lines, and clear other bookmarks
Mark all text in bookmarked lines, and clear other marks
Add bookmarks to lines with marked text
Add bookmarks to visible lines
Add marks to all text in bookmarked lines
Yes, that’s totally coherent : The first three items do a clear operation whereas the last three items simply add bookmarks / marks to the existing layout !

P.S. :
Just a random question about regex. In the sample of text above :
If I try to mark the \z regex with your plugin, I do get the bookmarkred line 10, which is the final empty line of the text
If I mark all the occurrences of the (?-s)^((?!test).)*\R regex => All lines, but lines 4, 7, 10, are bookmarked and text with EOLs, in lines 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 is marked
However, marking all occurrences of the ^(?-s)((?!test).)*\R|\z regex do not bookmark the final line 10, nor the (?-s)^((?!test).)*$\R? regex and nor the (?-s)^((?!test).)*(\R|\z) regex !
Not important, though. Do you have an explanation ?
