This widget was added in d426f62 as a copy of the original
GtkTreeView
code, with a modified timeout to the start of searching. Since then, there has been 1 additional change to functionality in bb26e53 to add support for a slightly different version ofPersistentTreeView
onListView
. All other changes have been minimal maintenance: fixing small bugs, replacing deprecated GTK calls, or code formatting.I contend that this is too much code to maintain for such a small change in functionality from upstream GTK, and any migration to new widgets in GTK4 will have to implement this differently anyway, so I'm proposing to remove it all. AFAICT, search still works without this code, just with GTK's timing instead.
