Hello,
There is one thing that has botheres me about Geany for quite some time:
How can I make Geany jump to the start/end of a VISUAL line?
Lets say I have a very long line of text. I'll enable the visual line break feature, so I can still see the entire text on the screen, though make it break into multiple visual lines. Now, I'd like to hit [Home] or [End] to jump to the beginning/end of the CURRENT visual line. However, Geany will make the cursor jump to the start/end of the actual line (not the visible one).
Is there anything I can to about that, in terms of configuration?
Kind regards Bernd

Yes, you can bind the "visual line" keybindings ("Go To Start of Display Line" and "Go To End of Display Line") to the keys you like (even Home and End if you wish).
However note that it's not perfect, we have some improvements to do on that regard. For example, you can't bind "select to the start of display line" (we don't have it) to <Shift>Home, and apparently the "Go to Start of Display Line" doesn't honor the "smart home key" setting.

BTW, they are bound to <Alt>Home and <Alt>End by default.
Just found out that <Alt> + <End> and <Alt> + <Home> do what I want.
However, I want to swap those key bindings with <End> and <Home>.
There is an option to swap <Alt> + <End> with <End>, but there is no key binding for <Alt> + <Home> in my configuration dialog. There's only <Home>. :(
@Developers: Could you add <Alt> + <Home>, so I can re-bind it?
And unfortunately, in German translation the name of the key bindings <Alt> + <End> and <End> is exactly the same, though these are two different options.

In the dialog at menu->edit->preferences->keybindings what is the binding next to "Goto start of line" and "Goto start of display line" ?
@Developers: Could you add <Alt> + <Home>, so I can re-bind it?
It should be usable, you said above that it does what you want?
And unfortunately, in German translation the name of the key bindings <Alt> + <End> and <End> is exactly the same, though these are two different options.
Don't understand, where are you talking about?
