In split window "End" and "Home" buttons does not work. Also some shortcuts, like "Ctrl-S". Please check if there are other keys and combinations which does not work properly. This is present in Geany from at very least 1.27.

This is a known issue. There have been various proposals in the past to fix it, but none have been accepted yet.
Maybe then scrap split window, introduce split pane and make another copy of original editor pane?
Its not that simple, split window IS another instance of the editing pane. But a lot of the code that performs the editing and other actions in Geany was written with the assumption that there is only one editor instance. Thats the major issue.
Well then, maybe in Geany 2.0. Anyway, thank you for prompt responses.
Closed #577.
This is still an issue two years later.
