Thank you Lex for your quick response.

The Help->Keyboard Shortcuts is useful, but rather I was looking for the inverse: i.e given a key press, what does it do? In the meantime I remembered that all the keybindigs are stored locally in
keybindings.conf, and I have now created an index from that.

It shows that some of the standard non-alphanumeric keys on the keyboard have not need used such as (`), ([) and certainly <Ctrl>[ does produce my brace_inline.

Experimenting with keybindings->change shows that <Primary><Shift>~
can be used as a keybinding (for build options for example). However the snippet brace_inline=<Ctrl><Shift>~ failed.


Are shift keys not allowed in keybinding snippets?

Hello Geany List,

I am trying to create a shortcut key to insert an in-line block. Ideally
what I would like is to type Ctrl+KEY which then produces { | }. Searching
through the Keybindings documentation in the Geany manual, I found that
KEY=4 works, but no other alpha key works.

I have made the following additions to my snippets.conf:

[Special]
brace_inline={ %cursor% }

[Keybindings]
brace_inline=<Ctrl>4
block_cursor=<Ctrl>8

[C++]
bi_=%brace_inline%

The <Ctrl>4 binding works.
The <Ctrl>8 binding works
The bi_TAB snippet works.

It took quite a bit of experimenting and searching to discover the Ctrl+4
solution.  I really would like to get this under my belt as key binding in
snippets is a really very useful feature.  My questions are:

Is there somewhere an index of which keys have been allocated?

Help->Keyboard Shortcuts?


Which keys I can use in [keybindings]

Try it in the keybindings change sub-dialog, you press the sequence
and it tells you the spelling.


Many thanks for any hints as to where I should be looking.
