Ctrl-Backspace works and seems to be the default(GtkTextView and
GtkEntry) and is consistent with the editor widget. I don't see any need
for Alt-Backspace.

I just added a basic autocompletion. It works only for the current
directory, it won't read into sub or top level directories.

Sorry, I forgot to add some error reporting code. Added in r2087.
Remember to change the default application(nautilus) in the plugin
configuration dialog.

Yes.

Why isn't a simple left-click on an item sufficient? You want to
right-click and then click on a menu item "select item" instead of just
left-clicking on an item?

Use the auto-focus option, can be found in the preferences dialog on the
main page.
