@Matthew:
You could use something like `gtk_key_snooper_install()`[0] to get
priority access to keys. It's deprecated because the GTK+ team don't
care about edge cases where it's useful, or other reasons, but it should
still work fine with GTK2/3 on all platforms, though I haven't tested it.
I'd rather not use deprecated functions, you never know what GTK might do with
them in the future.
It will exist and (in theory) function correctly until gtk4.
If you don't mind writing #ifdefs/platform-dependent code, you could use
XLib and/or Win32 functions directly to grab the key events for the
window. I don't believe Wayland protocol supports this (on principle),
but it may be supported by some compositors in protocol extensions, not
sure.
I can think of a few ideas to do it with Geany/GTK+/plugin alone, but
I'd have to test it out to see if would work at all.
Hmm, sounds a bit can-of-wormsy. I feel my solution is cleaner; needs only two
extra statements in keybindings.c.
I guess we'll see what the PR looks like, I'm not entirely sure I
understand the underlying issue (assuming you mean the existing
'keyrecord' plugin?), or the proposed solution.

Matthew Brush
