Subject: Complications with using buttons for inserting text
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2023 01:08:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0qLx4NgyIgddTGUIyCUsinPoyFhBXfrSWyJpMZDUdNT2dsy40Wv0D0ATLn2Z4GTOUTrNXFV1kLnPXAeCIv-8cro7fOAVDvNZ1YvBgM48QOo=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Most likely, I have complicated things too much, and would like some criticism
about it, with possible improvements.
I have made the following design for displaying buttons ("[F5]" and "[B5]")
to show some text using (insert this-text) and (insert that-text). The
button "[Next]" displays the next piece of text, whilst the button "[*]"
displays both buttons "[F5]" and "[B5]".
I call the functionality via two interactive functions, 'qrh-maces-snapshot'
(which displays only the snapshot related text) and 'qrh-maces' (which displays
a separate "action-release" and action-snapshot).
The interactive function 'qrh-maces' has the possibility of either calling
'action-snapshot' or 'qrh-maces-snapshot' for the same thing.
(defun action-snapshot-f5 (button)
(insert-button "[Next]"
'action 'action-snapshot-b5 'follow-link t)
(insert this-text) ))
(defun action-snapshot-b5 (button)
(insert-button "[Next]"
'action 'action-snapshot-f6 'follow-link t)
(insert that-text) ))
(defun action-snapshot (button)
(pcase (button-label button)
("[F5]"
(insert-button "[Next]"
'action 'action-snapshot-b5 'follow-link t)
(insert this-text))
("[B5]"
(insert-button "[Next]"
'action 'action-snapshot-f6 'follow-link t)
(insert that-text))
("[*]"
(insert-button "[F5]"
'action 'action-snapshot-f5 'follow-link t)
(insert-button "[B5]"
'action 'action-snapshot-b5 'follow-link t)) ))
(defun qrh-maces-snapshot (&optional button)
(interactive)
(insert-button "[F5]" 'action 'action-snapshot 'follow-link t)
(insert-button "[B5]" 'action 'action-snapshot 'follow-link t))
(defun qrh-maces ()
(interactive)
(insert-button "[*]" 'action 'action-release 'follow-link t)
(insert-button "[*]" 'action 'action-snapshot 'follow-link t)
(insert-button "[*]" 'action 'qrh-maces-snapshot 'follow-link t))
