Geany on Mac - keyboard shortcut "move to next word" or "jump to end of line" not working (solution)

In Geany on Mac the normal keyboard shortcuts (jump forward, jump to end of line) do not do the normal actions.  In other programs ALT or ⌘ + arrow key jump around normally and it's not great that it doesn't work in Geany.

How to fix :

- open Geany

- Edit > Preferences

- Keybindings on left

- On right scroll to "Go to" section

- click "Go to Previous Word Part"

- click Change

- press ALT + left arrow

- click "Go to Next Word Part"

- click Change

- press ALT + right arrow

- click "Go to start of line"

- click Change

- press ⌘ + left

- click "Go to end of line"

- click Change

- press ⌘ + right

- click Apply , Ok

( there is also a setting under Select "Select to previous word part" , etc)
