[Geany-Users] SnippetsKeybindings

[Geoff Kaniuk]

Thank you Lex for your quick response.

The  Help->Keyboard Shortcuts is useful, but rather I was looking for 
the inverse: i.e given a key press, what does it do? In the meantime I 
remembered that all the keybindigs are stored locally in
keybindings.conf, and I have now created an index from that.

It shows that some of the standard non-alphanumeric keys on the keyboard 
have not need used such as (`), ([) and certainly <Ctrl>[ does produce 
my brace_inline.

Experimenting with keybindings->change shows that <Primary><Shift>~
can be used as a keybinding (for build options for example). However the 
snippet brace_inline=<Ctrl><Shift>~ failed.


Are shift keys not allowed in keybinding snippets?
