I like geany and use it on both windows and Linux for pretty much all my miscellaneous editting. I've been following this thread and here's my two cents. Many years ago when I first started writing GUI code (OS/2...late 80's) we were required to adhere to CUA standards. These have since become pretty much de-facto among GUI applications. My fingers just seem to do them. Seaching on WikiPedia gave me this list of keystrokes :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts
Everyone has their own favorites, or wants, but it makes sense in the bigger picture to have default values that conform, new users are likely to try a program with non-standard keys, and discard it as having too steep a learning curve otherwise.
I agree. I think Geany basically conforms with that table where possible, except: help is ctrl-h instead of f1 rEplace is ctrl-e instead of ctrl-h
I don't mind changing these if most people prefer them.
