[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Re: Virtual Keyboard and hiding "AutoComplete" content

[From: Aaron Levinson]

The changed signal seems to be fired whenever a character is entered with
the VK input method.  I haven't seen the VK input method use the other two
signals.  However, I don't think this is the case with the handwriting
input method, and I believe that it uses all three events.  With the
handwriting input method, it only sends the changed signal when the user
completes a word.  Unfortunately, the only way to debug using the
handwriting input method is on the device itself.
