FrontEndEventActions

FrontEndEventActions
is an option for the notebook front end that gives a list of actions to perform when specified user-interface events occur.

DetailsDetails

  • FrontEndEventActions->{"event1":>action1, "event2":>action2, ...} specifies that should be evaluated whenever occurs in connection with the notebook.
  • The possible event specifications are the same as for EventHandler, with the following addition:
  • "WindowClose"window being closed
  • FrontEndEventActions is set as an option for $FrontEnd.
  • By default, any action specified for an event by FrontEndEventActions will override any default action that Mathematica would take for that event.
  • The default behavior can be changed by including rules for PassEventsDown in the list given as the setting for FrontEndEventActions.
