There isn't any such event. You have to press the 'script button' button if you want to define the button immediately. Imo, this is reasonable because @button scripts also create commands. You don't want to do that by accident. > I'm also reading about the @button having to be in a setting file or a @setting node ? but that would be to make them 'global' in all opened files if I got it right...? Not quite. See the documentation in leoSettings.leo, the node @settings-->Common @button nodes Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
