Nice!

That's basically what I was trying to do in PyGTK, but I got caught up 
with having to handle completely arbitrary key combinations where 
geanyextrasel is looking for a specific modifier mask plus one? other 
key.  It's probably easy to do this, but I haven't got it quite working yet.

I'm not too concerned that Geany's own (and other plugins') callbacks 
will run before the Python plugins' callbacks, as long as it's 
documented somewhere (at least until I send some patches to geany core 
to do what Lex suggested).

Cheers,
