I added a new keygrab() function to the Lua plugin, that
when called, it intercepts the next keystroke from Geany,
and returns it as a string, like "a" or "Escape".

So like in your example above, you will be able to
create a script something like:


-- @ACCEL@ <Control>exclam

key = geany.keygrab()

if key=="r" then
  dofile("reverse.lua")
elseif key=="f" then
  dofile("forward.lua")
elseif ...
end


The new release should be available in the next
couple of days.

(err, I think I told Enrico that two weeks ago! :)
