Let me try to explain with an example:
function callback(text)
if text ~= nil then
tag.name = text
end
return tag.name
end
function rename(tag, callback)
keygrabber.run(function (mod, key, event)
local old = callback()
local name = old
if event ~= "press" then
return true
end
if key:len() == 1 then
name = old:sub(1, old:len() - 1) .. key .. "_"
elseif
-- Other stuff...
end
callback(name)
return true
end)
end
(This is not how I'd implement it, just an example on what I have in mind)
rename() doesn't know anything about a tag object, it just knows that when it
calls callback(text), that text will be displayed somewhere. Might just be a
textbox whose "text" property is set, could be a tag whose name is directly
modified or just anything.
When the tag's name is modified, the taglist gets a signal and updates itself,
that way you indirectly modify the textbox without knowing exactly where it is
"hiding".
One issue I noticed while writing this mail:
Pango markup most likely wouldn't work. Does the prompt need pango markup? (It
"just" adds a "_" to the end of the text, no?)

P.S.: No idea why/how thunderbird screwed up the quoting. :(
