Sure thing.

The plugin 'recordkey', and possibly others, connects to the 'key-press-event' 
signal.  Possibly depending on the order of plugins being loaded, or possibly 
not, but either way: some of the keys bound to other plugins are lost to the 
view of 'recordkey', presumably because Geany processes all of the keybindings 
in its handling of the 'key-press-event' signal.  The order of loading plugins 
cannot be controlled anyway, as the user may load/unload at any time.  Causing 
Geany to emit a new signal, on receipt of the 'key-press-event' signal, but 
prior to any processing, allows any plugin (that connects to the new signal) to 
view (but not suppress) all key press events.

I'll be pleased if there is another way which doesn't involve changing Geany, 
it will save me some work.   ;)   And of course it's always good not to have to 
bump the ABI version.

Cheers,
Austin.
