Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2007-08-19 04:56:36 UTC 
gtkentry should have a "committed-text" property.

this property would be like a time-delayed version of "text" that gets set in the following situations:

 - a few seconds of inactivity in entering text
 - user tabs away from entry
 - window loses focus
 - etc...

this would allow instant-apply behaviour from text fields in dialog boxes that was a little bit less insane than the preference changing for every single keystroke....

a similar concept might be nice for adjustment-type widgets too....

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
