Well the plugin does seem to just plain ignore attempts to define keys
that Geany has defined.  But since Geany does not know about OS and
desktop definitions it  can't do anything about them.

Keys that are not defined (eg f2 or alt+f3) work for me, but again I
am using a different desktop which may have different keys defined.
