Switching between matching braces is nice but at least I use it very rare. But I use duplicating lines/selection very very often and I assume I get pain in my fingers if we change Duplicate to Shift-Alt-C ;-).
Yes, I'm finding Duplicate quite helpful also, and maybe hitting Shift-Alt on my ergonomic keyboard is easier than on other more commonly-used keyboards.

- Shift-Alt-L to select line
Shift-Alt-L is currently used a "Line Delete" by Scintilla, but I suggest to remove the Line Delete feature (because of probably rare usage) and use Shift-Alt-L for select line.

The Gnome HIG says in Table 10.4 "Emacs-style navigation keys for widgets" Ctrl-U for delete current line. It really seems there is no sane way to provide defaults to make all happy. Sigh. But we could bind Delete line or Cut line to Ctrl-K (and the other one to Ctrl-Shift-K or Ctrl-Alt-K, I don't care) and bind Go to line to Ctrl -L. What do you think?
Incidentally, I don't see "delete current line" (or "cut current line") listed in Help --> Keyboard shortcuts, or in Edit --> Preferences --> Keybindings. I guess those 2 places are only for Geany-specific (outside of Scintilla defaults) bindings?
Yes. Ctrl-L is a Scintilla binding but could be rebind by Geany (as we have already done for example for Ctrl-A).
