[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Next/previous message keybindings do not shift focus (#1098)

[Vasiliy Faronov]

An inconvenience:

1. Configure some keybindings for Next Message, Switch to Messages, and Switch to Editor.
2. Do something (e.g. find in files) to populate the messages pane.
3. Press the Next Message key. The next message is selected (highlighted).
4. Press the Switch to Messages key, then press the Switch to Editor key.
5. Press the Next Message key again. The next message is again selected.
6. Press the Switch to Messages key again. You will see that the GTK+ keyboard focus is not on the currently selected (highlighted) message, but rather still on the message that was selected back in step 3.

Here’s a screenshot (notice how the selected message is not the same as the one with the focus box around it):

Why is this a problem? — Because if I switch to the messages pane and use the up/down keys to navigate around the list (e.g. when I want to skip a bunch of messages), navigation starts from the focus, not from the selection. In effect, I am thrown back to some previous point and have to find the “current” message on my own.
