IMO, we should get out of the habit of adding a pref at all every time we make a change. Not that I'm opposed to giving the user more control/options, I just don't think it's required to add a pref every time a bug is fixed.

This is not a bug, Geany operates as it is supposed to. Adding an additional behaviour is not fixing a bug.

press the arrow key once.

that moves the cursor down, the find dialog is not focussed if the user has been editing, and pressing ctrl-g does a next search without focussing the find dialog.

Clearly there is a disagreement about usage, so we don't just cut one usage off by hard coding another.

Clearly this has just become an argument between the two of us, and it will be up to someone else to advise the OP what is most likely to be accepted.
