According to the Scintilla source([1] line 127) it triggers an undo
action inside Scintilla which in fact interfere with Geany's undo
system. I think we should remove this keybinding because we already
have a keybinding for undo. If nobody will complain, it will be
removed.

My window manager(xfwm4 from Xfce) eats Alt-Delete and remove
workspaces. Good to know that, I was quite surprised while testing
multiple times Alt-Delete ;-).
