Just to get my opinion stated,
If I could do everything without touching my mouse, I'd be really happy. Everything includes switching buffers, going to the sidebar, switching views there, moving up and down lists, trees, etc, moving back to the edit window, opening/saving/closing files, doing some common editing things like switching to/from upper case (even capitalization is useful; I used it a lot in emacs), formatting code, etc. navigating to the message/terminal/output windows and back... [I know many of the things mentioned are already bound to key shortcuts]
See, I really don't like using the mouse. I get my fingers on the right place on the keyboard and that's good. When I have to use Mr. Mouse and come back I invariably start typing the wrong thing because my right hand locates itself one key to the left or right.
So, just my viewpoint. I use Geany all the time. Love it. Don't plan to switch to anything else anytime soon. Don't change any plans cause of me.

Not sure if this has been covered in an earlier mail. It would be nice to have short-cuts to display and access the different UI elements such as "Sidebar", "Message Window", Different tabs within the sidebar and message window.
I tend to hide/unhide sidebar/message window often enough that I would love to have a shortcut.
There are keybindings to toggle the sidebar and message window - see the View menu heading. Or do you mean default keybindings for these?
There are shortcuts for switching to Scribble and VTE message window tabs. Would Compiler and Messages shortcuts get used much?
For the sidebar, do you use the keyboard to navigate items in it? I assumed everyone just used the mouse, and clicking on the tab first wouldn't be more effort than pressing a keybinding.
