UI shortcuts (was Re: [Geany] default keybindings, revisited)

[chuck]

Just to get my opinion stated,

If I could do everything without touching my mouse, I'd be really happy. 
  Everything includes switching buffers, going to the sidebar, switching 
views there, moving up and down lists, trees, etc, moving back to the 
edit window, opening/saving/closing files, doing some common editing 
things like switching to/from upper case (even capitalization is useful; 
I used it a lot in emacs), formatting code, etc. navigating to the 
message/terminal/output windows and back...
[I know many of the things mentioned are already bound to key shortcuts]

See, I really don't like using the mouse.  I get my fingers on the right 
place on the keyboard and that's good. When I have to use Mr. Mouse and 
come back I invariably start typing the wrong thing because my right 
hand locates itself one key to the left or right.

So, just my viewpoint.  I use Geany all the time.  Love it.  Don't plan 
to switch to anything else anytime soon.  Don't change any plans cause 
of me.
