Hi, I just upgraded to Geany 1.34.
I have two problems (before I never had any).
1) Till now I've always used just Alt button for rectangular selection.
Now I have to press both Ctrl+Alt buttons to use it. I'd like to use just Alt (especially when I don't have a mouse)
2) Some keys are now messed up.
Example
Before to get / character I had to press shift+7 Now, by pressing shift+7 I get & character. In order to get a / I have to press -
All other applications (e.g. Notepad++) work ok
Any idea ? Thanks
What OS are you running on, what is your locale, what is your keyboard layout?
Cheers Lex

You didn't answer the question about keyboard layout, but shift-7 == & is US international layout similarly the / on US international is where the - is on Italian layout.
It seems however you are running Geany is telling it you are not in an Italian locale so the keyboard layout is wrong.

Ok, fixed the keyboard layout problem but ..... I didn't change any keyboard setting. Just closed Geany and opened it again after playing with locale language (and setting again to Italian) !?
Anyway, do you have any suggestion on rectangular selection problem ? From documentation it specified that shit+alt must be used and I didn't find a setting for changing it.
Anyhow I have always used just Alt button (like in Notepad++) till this morning, before upgrading. Thanks

Oops. The modifier used to be different on Windows and non-Windows platforms. It used to be done by the editing component we use, but a recent change altered the default value, and long story short, we didn't properly fix this.
There's unfortunately currently no user setting to change this. I'll propose a fix later, but I don't have a simple solution you could apply easily without rebuilding Geany [1].

Thanks Colomban !!! In the meantime I will go on with Geany 1.32 :-) Regards, Alessandro

1.33 should work as well.
I opened https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2032 with a fix. If you care to build Geany yourself, you can test it.
