Split window does not react to all key presses

[mmlacak]

In split window "End" and "Home" buttons does not work.
Also some shortcuts, like "Ctrl-S". Please check if there are
other keys and combinations which does not work properly.

This is a known issue. There have been various proposals in the past to fix it, but none have been accepted yet.

[mmlacak]

Maybe then scrap split window, introduce split pane and make another instance of original editor pane?

[elextr]

Its not that simple, split window IS another instance of the editing pane. But a lot of the code that performs the editing and other actions in Geany was written with the assumption that there is only one editor instance. Thats the major issue.

[mmlacak]

Well then, maybe in Geany 2.0.
Anyway, thank you for prompt responses.

This is still an issue two years later.
