Geany 2.0-1, I am on Manjaro-Mabox Linux (openbox).
I can not mark a collumn in my document using ctrl-shift arrow keys.
I searched in the adjustments->shortkeys and could not find anything in this matter. (Maybe the shift-ctrl interferes with operating system controls and I should use different keys)
Sorry to ask here, but mailing list users seems to be closed for registration.
Seems to be Alt+Shift now.

Only the web based registration due to too much abuse. You can still register via email if you like.
Are we talking about selecting text with keyboard only or in combination with the mouse?
On my Debian Linux it is: - Keyboard only: Alt-Shift-CursorKeys - Keyboard with mouse: Control-Shift-Mouse
The relevant section in the documentation is not totally clear about which method is described, I would assume it refers to keyboard+mouse and so the correction seems fine.
It seems I wrote this section initially in 2008 and once more I wish I had been more precise :).
Sorry, at my Mabox Linux
Alt-Shift-CursorKeys does nothing in editor window. Control-Shift-Mouse changes the size of the application window on my desktop.
So, I was looking for a configuration to select different keys which are not used by the openbox desktop. Is there any adjustment ?

I'm wondering if it's something similar to
https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3899#issuecomment-2156816713
where some WMs define Control+Shift or Alt+Shift for their actions. So maybe we should indeed make it configurable both for clicks and for keybinding usage.
We actually define Ctrl and Alt ourselves in Geany (https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/editor.c#L4953). Until I saw the code, I was always under the impression that this is hardcoded in Scintilla.
So, I'd agree we could make this configurable, maybe with the current values as default (Alt on Windows, Ctrl otherwise) and then update the documentation.

It was the case until Scintilla changed it and we started defining it ourselves to keep the previous binding.
