Hello, John -

There is currently no way that I know of to accomplish
this. The closest you could come is with the menu
accelerators/mnemonics, e.g. if you create the file:

~/.geany/plugins/geanylua/_hello.lua

 - then you could type Alt+T,L,H to get to the script.

Of course that's not an ideal solution, since it means
either putting lots of files in the top-level script
folder, or adding another key into the chain to activate
the sub-menu, e.g.

~/.geany/plugins/geanylua/_greetings/_hello.lua

- would require typing Alt+T,L,G,H

( And this also means you have the menus flashing about,
which can be distracting. )


But I do think you have a good idea and I will try to look
into it. I am guessing this would have to be done at the
lower (GDK) rather than the higher (GTK) level, which is
something I'm not too familiar with...
