home and end key do nothing when in split window on the right side

[andy5995]

While editing a C document in the right-side window, the cursor didn't go to the beginning or end of the line when using the home and end key.

See #3048 also split window is in the Geany repository, not this one.

[andy5995]

@elextr There are some other split window issues in the geany-plugins repo you may want to transfer to here as well.

@andy5995 thanks, of the ones in your search results only #600 seemed to actually be about split window plugin (although I didn't check exhaustively)

I found this looking for something else but will confirm unexpected behaviour. Sorry I am not clear if this is to go here or in the other repo but this is where existing discussion is.

The bottom or right hand pane does not accept commands properly. No matter where the cursor is (which pane has focus), for example:

• ctrl+ f - find works only for primary window
• ctrl+ z - undo only works in primary window; very confusing especially when different documents are opened
• cannot modify options in secondary window such as change font size, show/hide line numbers

also:

• application of geany-document-status-changed a bit weird.. if fileA is split, then modified, the status changes to indicated unsaved changes. But if you switch to FileB, this goes away. Furthermore the File > Save is greyed out and seems not to be possible to save. I have not investigated this thoroughly to find out what if anything is happening to the changes. Autosave?

Sadly I have no ability to do anything about fixing these. Just leaving the info here in case helpful to someone.
