See the attached patch. It disabled all defined keybindings if the VTE
is active. But this is only a dirty 1minute hack ;-).
There are still some problems:
- it only works for shortcuts which are not bound to a menu entry(e.g.
you have Ctrl-r for "reload file" which has a menu item where ctrl-r
is displayed, then it won't work)
- with the patch, there is no way to get out of the VTE using the
"switch to editor/search bar/scribble/..." keybindings

To get it into Geany we need some smarter code, but for now the patch
might help.

Regards,
Enrico
