[Geany] default keybindings, revisited

Hi all,
I noticed in the Balsa email client they used Ctrl-Alt-F for one 
shortcut - are there any problems with using Ctrl-Alt-[a-z0-9]? I know 
that Ctrl-Alt-F[1-12] are taken for consoles. If there aren't any 
important conflicts with window managers, perhaps we should use Ctrl-
Alt instead of Alt-Shift for some bindings - Alt-Shift seems more 
difficult to hold down because they are diagonally separated.

Also, to return to the line-related bindings, I think this might be 
better:
Ctrl-K		Copy lines
Ctrl-Shift-K	Cut lines
Ctrl-Shift-L	Delete lines

The advantages being consistency and making it harder to do destructive 
actions (having to hold shift, as discussed before). This would mean 
the 'Scroll to current line' binding would also need to be changed from 
Ctrl-Shift-L, perhaps left unbound.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Nick
