Applications may connect to this signal in order to insert only a smaller part of the prefix into the entry - e.g. the entry used in the GtkFileChooser inserts only the part of the prefix up to the next ‘/’.

Default handler:

The default handler is called after the handlers added via g_signal_connect()

Parameters

prefix gchar*
 

the common prefix of all possible completions

 Ownership is not transferred to the callee
 The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string

Return value
