The default signal is "row-activated" (Gtk2, Gtk3), emitted when the user double-clicks a row and also when a row is selected and one of the keys Space, Shift+Space, Return or Enter is pressed.
The "changed" (Gtk2, Gtk3) signal is emitted when the selection has changed (please see link about this).
The "cursor-changed" (Gtk2, Gtk3) signal is emitted when the position of the cursor (focused cell) has changed.
The "file-changed" signal is emitted if file-monitor is true and the input file being monitored has changed.
The following signals are connected-up for all widgets:
Gtk2: button-press-event, button-release-event, configure-event, enter-notify-event, leave-notify-event, focus-in-event, focus-out-event, hide, show, realize, key-press-event, key-release-event, map-event, unmap-event Gtk3: button-press-event, button-release-event, configure-event, enter-notify-event, leave-notify-event, focus-in-event, focus-out-event, hide, show, realize, key-press-event, key-release-event, map-event, unmap-event

true means "true", "yes" or a non-zero value, false means "false", "no" or zero, therefore the shell command is expected to echo one of these values to stdout.
-
This widget has a default dimension of 200x100 which can be overridden with the height and/or width directives.
-
When saving, due to the multiple input data formats, the columns are output in the following raw state: icon-name
|stock-id|data0|data1|...
