Description Arnaud B. 2016-02-18 10:44:52 UTC 
The gtk_search_bar_handle_event() function eats the ‘+’ and ‘-’ chars, that are the default shortcuts of GtkTreeView for expanding/collapsing, making an application naively using these two widgets hard to use with keyboard.

Either this should be changed, or other shortcuts could be added for the same actions in GtkTreeView.

Any key is used *somewhere* else, potentially. I don't think this is a good reason for treating + and - differently in the search bar.
