[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Making it easier to set encoding (perhaps even via key-combination or something like that, custom and/or default) (#2144)

[elextr]

Geany is an IDE/editor, so converting large numbers of files encodings is not considered a common use-case.  So the efficiency of the UI for that purpose has not been optimised.  

To convert lots of files you would be better off using `iconv` on the command line or possibly in a script.

So its unlikley that any complex changes to the UI or a keybinding GUI in this area will happen unless somebody contributes it.

Its possible the menu order could be sorted, but again somebody has to do it.
