Where did you get that impression?  I can't find anywhere that exactly defines 
what that key combination does, but nothing I can find says its a mouse 
replacement.  

All the [Geany 
docs](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#editor-keybindings) say 
is "scroll view" with no mention of what the cursor does or does not do, unlike 
the line above for `ctrl_shift+l`.  The Scintilla docs are similarly silent 
(which is probably why Geany ones are, since Geany simply calls Scintilla).

Certainly the oldest version I have (1.36) works like that, and as far as I can 
recall it always did, but I never paid much attention.

This is also the way Scite behaves (except its key combo is different).

Certainly it is strange, exactly what it is for I don't know.

You would have to ask that of Scintilla, perhaps there is some olden times use.
