Geany has a few inconsistencies in the menus compared to normal macOS.

  • On macOS, Undo is Cmd+Shift+Z, not Cmd+Y.
  • Preferences is usually under the Geany menu and has the shortcut Cmd+Comma (but it is usually automatic). There is a way to set the menu item to function as the Preferences menu, but I don't know it off hand.
  • Mac has a built-in fullscreen mode which seems to function like Geany's, so the menu option can be disabled.
  • The F1-F12 keys are a pain to use, as they are, by default, mapped to stuff like changing the brightness.
  • Zoom In reacts to both Cmd+ and Cmd=. Right now, it seems to react to neither.
  • Cmd+Backspace deletes from the cursor to the beginning of the line, and Option+Backspace deletes the previous word, but I don't see a function like that in Geany.
    That's all for now.

These issues should be addressed by

geany/geany#1395

and

geany/geany#1633

geany/geany#1395 is waiting until someone creates better default keybindings for Mac (you?) and I'm not sure what's blocking geany/geany#1633

I did this originally and I would prefer it this way but someone complained that they don't like when each platform behaves differently so I reverted it back. Is easy to do tough if there's some agreement we want this.

Mac has a built-in fullscreen mode which seems to function like Geany's, so the menu option can be disabled.

Yeah, this one could probably be done but it's just a cosmetic thing and not sure if worth cluttering the Geany code with platform-specific stuff.
