<b>Geany</b> is, in general, very easy to learn because of the orthogonality of its command set - once I have learnt to use one action in one place, the same action works in other places in a consistent manner.  Please consider enabling </b>alt+shift</b> as an action that starts a vertical mouse select just as it does with the arrow keys to maintain this orthogonality.  <b>Thanks!</b>
