Subject: Symbols in interactive user input
Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2024 12:13:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <uU9KYyqK7EO313UJqBUNIzM6MvjdlxddayMLhpYa3Alv5wodSVV0a_SD9SvJnBTtdiAZ43VwklMq2KTtp1S197GGUHDeAeekiwDhEilUa7U=@protonmail.com> (raw)

Do user input commands allow using symbols rather than strings?
For instance using 'extended, 'disable, 'tabtrail, which are then
used in a pcase or cond conditionals.

  (interactive
    (let* ( (colw (read-number "Line Column: " 72))
            (cseq '("extended" "disable" "tabtrail"))
            (rsel (completing-read "Selector: " cseq nil t "tabtrail"))
            (scope (completing-read "Scope: "
                     '("global" "local") nil t "local")) )

      ;; Pass a single list as argument
      (list (list colw rsel scope))) )
