* 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.
          

Actually, that's Shift-Ctrl-L to delete current line, not
Shift-Alt-L
        

Oops, sorry.

      

(and Ctrl-L cuts the line). Deleting (or else cutting) the current
line is very handy, IMO. Though I'm used to both GNU Emacs and GNU
nano using Ctrl-K for it. Ctrl-L seems more like it should be "go
to
        

The Gnome HIG says in Table 10.4 "Emacs-style navigation keys for
widgets" Ctrl-U for delete current line.
      

That's odd. Might be an error. In Emacs, Ctrl-U is a prefix key -- you
    

Probably, just wanted to mention it.

  

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?
      

That sounds preferable and easy to remember to me (delete line:
Ctrl-K, cut line: Shift-Ctrl-K, go to line: Ctrl-L).
    

Ok, I'll do it tomorrow if nobody complains ;-).

  

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).
      

I see that you can steal a key-binding from Scintilla, and have Geany
override it. But, can you re-bind some other key to a
Scintilla-specific command, such as "delete line" or "cut line"? I
    

Yes, no problem.

  

don't see either of those listed in Preferences --> Keybindings.
    

Not yet ;-). I'll add them tomorrow together with the Line transpose
feature which is currently bound to Ctrl-T (by Scintilla). I think we
keep this default but make it changeable through Geany.

Enrico
