[Geany] Conflicting hotkeys in Edit menu

One little UI quirk I just noticed you may want to fix:  on the Edit menu, 
both "Paste" and "Preferences" have the "P" as their selection key, which 
means typing Alt-E P just switches between the two without selecting 
either (if there's stuff to paste).  This showed up in Gnome terminal 
recently too (see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/290777 ).

All the apps I just checked make "P" execute "Paste", but the key for 
"Preferences" isn't so standardized.  Just among Gnome apps, gedit uses 
"E" while Rhythmbox uses "N".  Mozila Firefox/Thunderbird both use "N" as 
well.
