[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add support for platform-specific keybindings (#1395)

[AgilentGCMS]

OK, I installed the GTK3 build from https://download.geany.org/snapshots/geany-1.36_osx.dmg. The theming looks more consistent with the rest of my apps, which is good. However, the original problem about which I opened the issue is still there, and I can see it even without selecting any text.

- First, I disabled Geany's keyboard shortcuts to go to the start and end of a line, because I wanted to see what the "native" behavior would be on macos.
- Neither Fn+left nor Fn+right do anything, i.e., the traditional keystrokes for "Home" and "End" on a mac do nothing.
- Now, if I hit Cmd+left, I go to the beginning of a line. This is therefore analogous to 'Home' on a PC keyboard.
- However, if I hit Cmd+right, I go to the end of the current word. This is *not* analogous to 'End' on a PC keyboard.
- Selection is even stranger. Shift+Fn+left/Shift+Fn+right select to the beginning/end of a line, even though Fn+left/right do nothing.

So I wonder if there's any way to get consistent keystrokes for all of these, i.e., [key]+left/right go to the beginning/end of a line, and Shift+[key]+left/right select to the beginning/end of a line.
