This chapter describes commands that are specific to buffers that contain widgets.
Keymap containing useful bindings for buffers containing widgets.
Binds TAB and C-TAB to widget-forward and
widget-backward, respectively. It also binds RET to
widget-button-press and down-mouse-1 and
down-mouse-2 to widget-button-click.
There’s also a keymap for events that the Widget library doesn’t need to handle.
Keymap used by widget-button-press and widget-button-click
when not on a button. By default this is global-map.
In addition to these two keymaps, each widget might define a keymap of its own, active when events happen at that widget.
The following navigation commands are available:
Move point count buttons or editing fields forward.
Move point count buttons or editing fields backward.
When editing an editable-field widget, the following commands
are available:
Move point to the end of field or end of line, whichever is first.
Kill to end of field or end of line, whichever is first.
Complete the content of the editable field at point.
Invoke the editable field at point.
The following two are commands that can execute widget actions.
Invoke the button at pos, defaulting to point.
Invocation means to run the function stored in the :action
property.
If point is not located on a button, invoke the binding in
widget-global-map (by default the global map).
Invoke the button at the location of the mouse pointer.
If the mouse pointer is located in an editable text field, invoke the
binding in widget-global-map (by default the global map).
In case the mouse-click is on a widget, calls the function stored in
the :mouse-down-action property.
