The preview pane does update itself, but if the changed area is out of view, the user would have to scroll manually, since I don't know how to locate the position of changes in the preview pane. Normally, I would use my touchpad to scroll, but I suppose some people might prefer to change focus and use the keyboard. My understanding of the way a toggle like this would function is that it would apply to the sidebar as a whole. So it would be more useful for the Symbols, Documents, and Tree Browser tabs than for the Preview pane. Toggles are also nice because they reduce the number of shortcuts I have to remember. Another way a shortcut could work is to just move in sequence among whichever of the editor, sidebar, and message window are visible. > Geany and Geany-plugins are currently in string freeze, and so its unlikely > anything will be added before release, since I expect adding a keybinding in > the plugin will add a string to its UI. Could that be why a [PR I opened to fix a bug in the Markdown plugin](https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1111) has received zero responses? It doesn't change any user-facing strings, but does use strings to store some javascript. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
