Hi All,
Geany currently hard codes two actions to the<ctrl>-<left mouse down>
input, "goto tag" if the click is over an identifier or "goto matching
brace" otherwise.
It also also mapped to rectangular selection which is a huge annoyance
(it obviously doesn't work most of the time if a tag/matching brace is
found).
I did a quick check on my system and didn't find any application that
did not comply with that guideline, so Geany is the odd one out.
Eclipse uses ctrl+click for the same operation. However only if you
press ctrl first and then move the mouse pointer a tiny bit. This seems
to be necessary to enter some "make tags clickable html-like links" mode.
Geany has not supported multiple selections so it hasn't been an issue
(other than being non-standard and occasionally confusing users), but
as there is a proposal to add support for multiple selections to Geany
this non-standard behavior is now a problem.
As both actions now have a default keybinding (in Git version) I
propose that the binding to<ctrl>-<left mouse down> simply be
removed.
Clearly the behavior needs to be changed, or at least changable by the
user. And goto tag/matching brace needs to trigger on mouse-button-up to
allow selection actions to take place. The multiple and incompatible
mapping are a problem since a long time and really annoying indeed.
Best regards.
