<p>ah, ok. thank you for the info, i didn't think to look at gtk-specific shortcuts.</p>
<p>and yep i can confirm when i assign F8 to an arbitrary command (eg: "go to start of line") then the gtk event isn't fired and focus stays in the editor as expected. good!</p>
<p>now, it seems to me that perhaps the geanymacro plugin should conform to the same behaviour as the standard geany keybinding. anyhoo, i'll report this over on geany-plugins and see what they say.</p>
<p>many thanks for your help, much appreciated.</p>
