This action activates the insert file popup. The <emphasis remap='I'>filename</emphasis>
|

option specifies the default filename to put in the filename buffer of

the popup. If no <emphasis remap='I'>filename</emphasis> is specified the buffer is empty

This action may only be attached to a key event. When the

|
<function>international</function> resource is <function>false</function>, this action
|
|
calls XLookupString to translate the event into a (rebindable) Latin-1
|
|
character (sequence) and inserts it into the text at the
|
|
insert point. When the <function>international</function> resource is <function>true</function>,
|
|
characters are passed to the input method via XwcLookupString, and any
|
|
committed string returned is inserted into the text at the insert point.

This action inserts each <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis> into the text

at the insert point location. Any <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis>
|
|
beginning with the characters "0x" followed by an even
|
|
number of hexadecimal digits is
|
|
interpreted as a hexadecimal constant and the
|
|
corresponding string is inserted instead. This
|
|
hexadecimal string may represent up to 50 8-bit characters.
|
|
When the<function>international</function> resource is
|
|
<function>true</function>, a hexadecimal string is intrepeted as
|
|
being in a multi-byte encoding, and a hexadecimal
|
|
or regular string will result in an error message
|
|
if it is not legal in the current locale.

This action allows the insert point to be turned on and off.
|
|
The <emphasis remap='I'>state</emphasis> argument specifies the desired state of the insert point.
|
|
This value may be any of the string
|
|
values accepted for Boolean resources (e.g. <function>on</function>, <function>True</function>,
|
|
<function>off</function>, <function>False</function>, etc.). If no arguments are specified, the
|
|
default value is <function>True</function>.
|
|
The <emphasis remap='I'>when</emphasis> argument specifies, for <function>EnterNotify</function> or <function>LeaveNotify</function>
|
|
events whether or not the focus field in the event is to be examined.
|
|
If the second argument is not specified, or specified as something other
|
|
than <function>always</function> then if the action is bound to an <function>EnterNotify</function>
|
|
or <function>LeaveNotify</function> event, the action will be taken only if the focus
|
|
field is <function>True</function>. An augmented binding that might be useful is:

The multiply action allows the user to multiply the effects of many of
|
|
the text actions. Thus the following action sequence
|
|
<emphasis remap='I'>multiply(10) delete-next-word()</emphasis> will delete 10 words. It does not
|
|
matter whether these actions take place in one event or many events.
|
|
Using the default translations the key sequence \fIControl-u,
|
|
Control-d\fP will delete 4 characters.
|
|
Multiply actions can be chained, thus \fImultiply(5)
|
|
multiply(5)\fP is the same as <emphasis remap='I'>multiply(25)</emphasis>. If the string
|
|
<function>reset</function> is passed to the multiply action the effects of all previous
|
|
multiplies are removed and a beep is sent to the display.

This action is written specifically for the file insertion and the search
|
|
and replace
|
|
dialog boxes. This action is attached to those shells by the Text widget,
|
|
in order to handle ClientMessage events with the WM_PROTOCOLS atom in the
|
|
detail field. This action supports WM_DELETE_WINDOW on the Text widget
|
|
popups, and may support other window manager protocols if necessary in
|
|
the future. The popup will be dismissed if the window manager sends
|
|
a WM_DELETE_WINDOW request and there are no parameters in the action
|
|
call, which is the default. The popup will also be dismissed if the
|
|
parameters include the string ``wm_delete_window,'' and the event is a
|
|
ClientMessage event requesting dismissal or is not a ClientMessage event.
|
|
This action is not sensitive to the case of the strings passed as parameters.

<!-- .LP -->
|
|
The default behavior of the text selection array is described in the
|
|
section called <function>Text Selections for Users</function>. To modify the selections
|
|
a programmer must construct a <function>XawTextSelectType</function> array (called the
|
|
selection array), containing the selections desired, and pass this as
|
|
the new value for the <function>selectionTypes</function> resource. The selection
|
|
array may also be modified using the <xref linkend='XawTextSetSelectionArray' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
|
|
<!-- .IN "XawTextSetSelectionArray" "" -->
|
|
function. All selection arrays must end with the value
|
|
<function>XawselectNull</function>. The <function>selectionTypes</function> resource has no converter
|
|
registered and cannot be modified through the resource manager.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<!-- .LP -->
|
|
The array contains a list of entries that will be called when the user
|
|
attempts to select text in rapid succession with the <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis>
|
|
action (usually by clicking a pointer button). The first entry in the
|
|
selection array will be used when the <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis> action is
|
|
initially called. The next entry will be used when <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis>
|
|
is called again, and so on. If a timeout value (1/10 of a second) is
|
|
exceeded, the the next <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis> action will begin at the top
|
|
of the selection array. When <function>XawselectNull</function> is reached the array
|
|
is recycled beginning with the first element.
