advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4579) Note: In this post I refer to ENTER key but some users/Geany itself refer to this as the RETURN key, speaking of the same key.
In `Preferences - Keybindings` if you double click on, or hit `Change` button, it opens up the `Assign Keybinding` dialog. I have some minor suggestions that maybe could improve the workflow of this dialog. ------------------------------------------------------------- ENTER/RETURN KEY BEHAVIOR A common action/habit is being able to hit ENTER/RETURN key when dialogs are open, which apply the "Confirm/OKAY" button. The ENTER key is already linked to a very important action in Geany, so users will probably not be assigning this key to any actions, even though it is actually currently possible to do so. Therefore I am suggesting remove the ENTER key from being assigned to an action and instead allow this key to apply/accept and close this dialog, once user has assigned the keybinding they wish to assign to a specific action. This would be similar to the current behavior assigned to the ESCAPE key in this dialog. Hitting ESCAPE does not try to assign the ESCAPE key to an action, it instead performs a `Cancel` action, closing this dialog. ------------------------------------------------------------- DEFAULT BUTTON FOCUS WHEN DIALOG IS OPENED Currently when dialog is opened, the focus is automatically applied to the `Cancel` button by default. If the ENTER key suggestion I made above is added, I would also either remove the focus from both buttons, or I would make the focus apply to the `OK` button instead.
