I would like to start editing files from the terminal window, and when Geany opens it, I would like to use the PageDown key and/or "Find next" and Ctrl-V (paste clipboard).
When I issue "geany xxxxfile.c" (Geany already running), Geany shows the file, so far is OK. (But there is no visible cursor yet.)
PageDown does not work.. Nothing happens.
"Find next" works, the found text is selected, but Ctrl-V does not work. (The selection is not replaced.)
"Down arrow" key makes the cursor appearing in the search bar.. (not in the editor window).
"Right arrow" key (among other keys) makes the cursor appearing in the editor window. (And from now, the PageDown and PageUp key and Ctrl-V are working too.)
If I understand you correctly, it's because the VTE/terminal still has input focus. You can jump to the editor using the "Switch to Editor" keybinding (F2 by default I think), or by clicking on the editor widget to move input focus there. Not sure if this helps.
