@ralf3u don't know what platform you are on, but you also need a bunch of tools that are not normally installed unless you do C software development.

I guess we need to remind ourselves that not everybody is a C coder and knows the technology involved in how to build Geany and thats fine, it will just mean waiting for someone else to test it.

Thats open source :smile:

Geany isn't terribly consistent with keybinding names, we have `Delete Current Line(s)` and next to it `Delete to line end`.  AFAIK there is no special meaning for those where each word is capitalised, in fact had never noticed before :smile:

Thats also open source, different contributors have different preferences and experience and contribute things in their favourite/experience style.

The Gnome [HIG](https://developer.gnome.org/hig/guidelines/writing-style.html) tends towards sentence capitalisation for labels which is what this is.  But its not totally prescriptive and allows short non-sentence controls to be heading capitalisation.  Sigh, why did I expect something from Gnome to be useful :frowning_face: 

> I don't understand why you use two different notations for one and the same thing:

One is the label on the keybinding dialog and summary (`Help->Keyboard Shortcuts`) which as I noted above is inconsistent, but needs to be short, the other is a label in the preferences dialog which is sentence cased fairly consistently and can afford to be longer.
