<p>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.</p>
<p>To convert lots of files you would be better off using <code>iconv</code> on the command line or possibly in a script.</p>
<p>So its unlikley that any complex changes to the UI or a keybinding GUI in this area will happen unless somebody contributes it.</p>
<p>Its possible the menu order could be sorted, but again somebody has to do it.</p>
