I looked at the manual and was about to make a simple PR when I got confused, 
so ran out of time, so questions.

1. its confusing that there is a message window (although its actually a pane 
not a window, but can live with that) and then inside it there is a message 
tab, and I got confused which of the 68 uses of "message" in the document 
refers to the "window" and when it refers to the "tab" or refers to some which 
else since most of the 68 do not distinguish
2. good refer to "find usage" and "find in all files" at 
[here](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/3122fb1dbcc1906df32a89f0a9d19253fa44288f/doc/geany.txt?plain=1#L244)
 but then it says "other actions" which is not described so who knows whats 
shown
3. "find usage" has a note its results [are in window 
tab](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/3122fb1dbcc1906df32a89f0a9d19253fa44288f/doc/geany.txt?plain=1#L1329)
 :heavy_check_mark: 
4. but "find in files" just below has no mention where its results are shown 
:x: 
5. but it is mentioned in the "Find" dialog description results of some searches
6. and some discussion of "message" is really about compiler results ... I 
think??
7. keybindings that relate to the message tab contents are changable, but the 
enter and space are hard coded and so don't get mentioned in keybindings
8. other than the keybindings there is no description anywhere about the 
message window message tab message lines format from a number of unmentioned 
contents.  Mouse or up/down arrow selection of message lines are in keybinding, 
but nothing about enter to switch the source on the message line to edit focus, 
or space to switch the edit but no focus switch.
9. maybe?? a new section for the message window message tab with:
   - a list of all the actions as well as find usage and find all files
   - all actions that put stuff in the message window message tab should refer 
to this new section
   - explanation of the message location
   - a list of the keybindings and hard coded functions (assuming they are all 
the same for all those actions that use it)

And that point I give up.
