Just to report the CTRL+F9 shortcut to build with "make" doesn't work for me on my Xfce 4.2 desktop (FC3). For Xfce (and I think maybe KDE also) the window manager will use CTRL+F1-F12 to switch virtual desktops, overriding the Geany shortcut. I changed the shortcut in my local copy to SHIFT+F9 and rebuilt and this works fine; I think Shift+F1-F12 shouldn't conflict as other applications such as SciTE use it.
