Todd,

Couple of comments below that may be helpful

A newbie question:  How do I print out the strings?

Copying some methods within the geany code, the below builds:


[keys]
line_down=C+K CA+K
line_up=C+I CA+I

The string list separator is semicolon not space
 

static void setup_sci_keys(ScintillaObject *sci)
{
gchar *keyconfigfile;
GKeyFile *keyconfig = g_key_file_new();
keyconfigfile = g_strconcat(app->configdir, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S, "keys.conf", NULL);
g_key_file_load_from_file(keyconfig, keyconfigfile, G_KEY_FILE_NONE, NULL);
get_keybindings(keyconfig);

g_free(keyconfigfile);
g_key_file_free(keyconfig);


Above looks ok at first glance except for absence of error checking that would be required in production version
 

static void get_keybindings(GKeyFile *config)
{
const gchar group[] = "keys";
gchar **keys = g_key_file_get_keys(config, group, NULL, NULL);
gchar **ptr = keys;

gchar **list;
gsize len;

if (!ptr)
return;

while (1)
{
const gchar *key = *ptr;

if (!key)
break;

list = g_key_file_get_string_list(config, group, key, &len, NULL);
// int i=0; 
// for(i<list.length; i++) {
// printf("%s", list[i]);
// }
}
g_strfreev(keys);
}




You never increment ptr in the while loop so you only ever get the first list. Instead of the while use:

for (ptr = keys; *ptr; ++ptr)
{
/*get the strings*/
}

and use the same thing to itterate over the strings returned in the list, your commented out list.length won't work

You can safely pass *ptr as the key to g_key_file_get_string, you don't need key inside the loop

You don't free the list returned, probable memory leak

Cheers

Just browsing the Notepad++ code, it looks like this is the method to update Scintilla's mappings:

void ScintillaAccelerator::updateKeys() 
{
NppParameters *pNppParam = NppParameters::getInstance();
vector<ScintillaKeyMap> & map = pNppParam->getScintillaKeyList();
size_t mapSize = map.size();
size_t index;

for(int i = 0; i < _nrScintillas; i++)
{
::SendMessage(_vScintillas[i], SCI_CLEARALLCMDKEYS, 0, 0);
for(size_t j = mapSize - 1; j >= 0; j--) //reverse order, top of the list has highest priority
{
ScintillaKeyMap skm = map[j];
if (skm.isEnabled()) 
{ //no validating, scintilla accepts more keys
size_t size = skm.getSize();
for(index = 0; index < size; index++)
::SendMessage(_vScintillas[i], SCI_ASSIGNCMDKEY, skm.toKeyDef(index), skm.getScintillaKeyID());
}
if (skm.getMenuCmdID() != 0) 
{
updateMenuItemByID(skm, skm.getMenuCmdID());
}
if (j == 0) //j is unsigned, so default method doesnt work
break;
}
}
}

where they send a map of Scintilla key codes to each of the buffers?

Yes, Geany has a binding for sending the SCI_ASSIGNCMDKEY message but it isn't used anywhere.  All you need to do is write code to read the settings and shove them into Scintilla.

Here is my Scintilla config from Notepad++:

    <ScintillaKeys>

        </ScintKey>
    </ScintillaKeys>

Do the ScintIDs look familiar?

Just guessing what the XML means, but Ids look ok, see Geany source sciltilla/include/Scintilla.h

To be compatible with the rest of Geanys config files it would be best to use a GKeyfile format instead of Notepads XML to store the settings.

Hi all, 

Is there a mechanism for customizing the cursor movement keybindings in Geany?

I'm a happy Notepad++ user on WIndows, largely because it accommodates my "inverted T" editor navigation keybindings:


Notepad++ uses Scintilla underneath, maybe I can port these over?

Hi Todd,

You are correct that these keybindings are handled by Scintilla.  Scintilla can have the keybindings configured, but Geany currently does not have the ability to do it.  It could be a useful addition but someones got to do it (tm) patches welcome.

Cheers
Lex

PS doesn't have to be a GUI configurator, just loading a file would do

Thanks,
Todd
