Hi folks,
I am using Geany for editing some LaTeX files, using the visual line break option. From other editors I am used to press the "end" key for jumping to the visual line break, not to the actual line end. I found the key binding "alt-end" and I want to swap those two. In the options there is the "go to line end" with its end key changeable, but not the "alt +end" shortcut. Is this possible at all? What did I miss?
Currently I am using Geany 0.16, but I didn't find anything in the changelog to 0.17, I will try that version later.

Nothing, it's just not configurable.
Do we really need to change this?

The questions are: Do you really need some key to jump to the line *end* if you are doing visual line break? Do you need it more often than to get to the line *break*? What is more intuitive? Would anyone need to change his behavior, if it were configured other way round in default?
If you come to the right answers, you will agree to make it at least configurable. :o)
But anyway I don't know if other people use the home/end/cursors as much as I do. I am using the mouse seldomly while writing text. So I don't know wether others would like to have this changed.

No idea :). I personally don't use line wrapping [1], I prefer to add line breaks when I want a line to be ended. But yeah, of course this isn't possible in all text and there are reasons for line wrapping.

Probably. Ok, I'll add a new keybinding to change the keybinding and report here when I have done it.
[1] 'line wrapping' is the proper term in English. 'visual line break' is a re-translation of the German term 'Visueller Zeilenumbruch'. The German translation isn't really good but I added it because I didn't know a better term and the other German users probably didn't so as well. I just mention it because 'line break' is something different.

Thanks very much!

"line wrapping" may also be the automatic wrapping with adding real CR/LFs at some breaking point. I don't think there is a real good translation for everything. :-)

Done in SVN r3905.

No, this is line breaking. But in German, we don't have proper terms to differentiate between both well enough, or at least, I don't know anything better so I introduced the additional 'visuell' (visual) term to distinguish both strings. And the other German translators didn't correct/improve it yet so I guess it isn't that bad :).
