When opening a file in read-only mode with "-r", it can be made writable via the menu "Documents" -> uncheck "read only". Unfortunately, there seem to way to assign a shortcut to this. In the shortcut editor, "Documents" has not "read only" option to select.
You have the mnemonic `<Alt>D O`
Thanks. True, selecting via the menu letter also works and this is what I'm using. Just consider adding this to the shortcut customization list as a future improvement. Basic rule should be, that for everything in the menu there should be an option to assign a shortcut.
+1. In Xubuntu with XFCE 4.12 in spanish language, I must press <ALT>D L L <ENTER> to put or remove the read only status. The first "L" is for "Ajuste de **L**ínea" (line adjustment) and the second "L" is for "Sólo **L**ectura" (read only). Both items have the "L" underlined. Thanks.
@migueloangelo you should probably [open a separate issue](https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/new) for the clashing mnemonic.
