[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Fix modifier for creating rectangular selections on Windows (#2032)

[Enrico Tröger]

Yes, let's keep it this way: Alt as default on Windows and Ctrl for the rest.

Tested the changes on Windows and works as expected when using the mouse to start a selection.
However, when using the keyboard, Scintilla seems to use Shift-Alt in any case, even if we set the modifier to Ctrl. I assume this is hardcoded somewhere or something.
After a quick look in the Scintilla documentation, I didn't find any other related setting to change the modifier for keyboard based selection. So this encourages even more the idea to keep Alt on Windows, as then mouse and keyboard modifiers are the same.
