Oops, sorry.

The Gnome HIG says in Table 10.4 "Emacs-style navigation keys for
widgets" Ctrl-U for delete current line.
It really seems there is no sane way to provide defaults to make all
happy. Sigh.
But we could bind Delete line or Cut line to Ctrl-K (and the other one
to Ctrl-Shift-K or Ctrl-Alt-K, I don't care) and bind Go to line to Ctrl
-L. What do you think?

Yes. Ctrl-L is a Scintilla binding but could be rebind by Geany (as we
have already done for example for Ctrl-A).
