There are 3 separate concepts which are related to each other but are
different enough to warrant separate references:
Editor commands
Editor actions
Editor parameters

The distinction between commands and actions is that a command accepts
parameters; actions don't. Which makes an action quite suitable to
attach to a keyboard shortcut or mouse click :-) So 'findText', having
parameters, is a command but 'join' is an action suitable to assign to
say, Alt-j.


Except for trim which is a command, but has no parameters. I would love
the ability to trim trailing blanks with a keyboard shortcut. For now, I
use escape and type trim (or up arrow to find it). I think there are other
exceptions.

There's an RFE: add a 'command' action to let a keyboard shortcut fire
an Lpex command! After all, there's an 'action' command to go the other
way...

Someday I'll figure out how to modify my UserProfile to enable a keyboard
shortcut to do the trim. I just don't have the time to dust off my limited
Java knowledge right now.

This tickled my remaining neuron and I remembered this:
