<p>Just out of interest why do you need to keep closing Geany? It should open new files in the existing instance if one is running, so you only need to close the tab.</p>

<p>I need to switch from Geany to my file manager. If I do so using Alt+Tab, Geany will keep accumulating files.</p>

<p>What I want to reproduce is the flow in Midnight Commander: F4 to edit, Esc to escape.</p>
