I've just downloaded and checked the https://download.geany.org/geany-1.37.1_setup.exe under Windows 10 -
using the space key to prevent stealing the focus by the editor doesn't work for me, sometimes it works, about in a one from ten tries, when I am able to click on the sidebar and press spacebar almost simultaneosly, but most times it adds unwanted spaces into an opened file in the editor.

My solution allows to simply click on the sidebar and begin to type info into the fast search without any issues in productivity during cross files or tags navigation. Currently I use it on both Windows 10 and Mac OS X platforms.

I haven't removed the space key handling, by switching off this piece of code:
"/*if (keyval **!=** GDK_space)
			change_focus_to_editor(doc, tv.tree_openfiles);*/"
I have expanded the space key handling to every key, preventing the focus stealing by editor.
