What about
http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#sending-text-through-custom-commands

Ok, you need an extra <ctrl>+a to select all before the keybinding for the
command, but two keys isn't too bad :)

BTW do not use astyle for this, it lies through its teeth about working
from a piped stdin, it tries to do a seek on the input and thats not
possible on pipes.  I havn't done it for ages, but uncrustify used to work.
