Using tab completion with GtkEntryCompletion

[Salvatore De Paolis <iwkse claws-mail org>]

Hi all,

I'm having fun these days with GCompletion(deprecated) and GtkEntryCompletion.
Everything is going fine apart one important thing. We do autocomplete email
addresses on request by the user, using the Tab key.
I didn't find a way to implement it with GtkEntryCompletion.

What I tried, and did not work, is to set:

gtk_entry_completion_set_popup_completion(completion, FALSE);

and on the entry key-press-event when matching GDK_Tab set it to TRUE and call

gtk_entry_completion_complete(completion);

and than set it again to FALSE.

No luck.

Am I missing something or it's a limitation of GtkEntryCompletion?
