Ah! Of course! I had expected to always bring up the dialogue, but I see now, that it indeed just moves the cursor to the "go to line" entry in the toolbar. Stupid me! I should have known this.
Interestingly, when I use this function from the menu, i.e. "Suchen/Gehe zu Zeile ...", it always brings up the dialogue. I feel it would be helpful if Geany would make it visually more appearant what happens. For instance, my insert caret is defined as a block cursor (so I can easily see). When I use the 'goto line' keyboard shortcut, the block cursor stays visible in the text (just a little bit dimmed), and the focus indeed goes to the Goto Line bos in the toolbar, but as a thin, vertical-bar-cursor, which is hardly visible. If it would be also a thick cursor there, ideally blinking, and mayb the background would even change the colour, it would be more obvious to see what is going on. Whether this can be done with GTK, I don't know. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
