I just found out, that I am able to turn it of with
'treeview.set_enable_search(False)'. Works nice.

An option would be, to toggle the searching function with
some keystroke, e.g. 'Ctrl-s'. And set a key binding for the
movement to 'j' and 'k' when the search mode is disabled. I
think I could do it somehow with the 'accelgroup' function,
but did not find enough information to get a clue out of it.

Does anybody have an idea?

In a small curses based file manager (lfm) there is an
assignment of keybindings via a keytable

keytable = {
    # movement
    ord('p'): 'cursor_up',
    ord('k'): 'cursor_up',
    ord('K'): 'cursor_up2',
    ord('P'): 'cursor_up',
    curses.KEY_UP: 'cursor_up',
    ord('n'): 'cursor_down',
    ord('j'): 'cursor_down',
    ord('J'): 'cursor_down2',
    ord('N'): 'cursor_down',
    ...

Would that work in any way for a pygtk program too?
