Maybe I'm wrong with that. I use it quite often, but as I mentioned the extend selection bindings don't work (at least for a UK keyboard). I don't think it would be difficult or too ugly to have Geany handle this, assuming the key-combination would not otherwise be matched. (Also the people who requested bindings instead of home/end probably would prefer using +shift to extend selections for those.)
