[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I use:  Editor:      GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0, NS
appkit-1671.20 Version 10.14.3 (Build 18D109))

        Hyperbole:   7.1.2
        Sys Type:    x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0
        OS Type:     darwin
        Window Sys:  ns

In the Hyperbole DEMO file, hitting tab always takes me to the first
button, rather than the next one. I traced into the elisp a bit, and sure
enough `next-button` does not find the buttons in the file other than the
one at the top. Which seems to be due to `next-single-char-property-change`
not finding a `button` property change until the end of the file.

Thanks for tracking this down.  We’ll work on fixing it in about a week.

Now that I have re-read your report, I see that you are thinking that
Hyperbole buttons utilize the Emacs button.el library (which has a keymap
that supports tabbing through buttons).  However, Hyperbole buttons predate
that package by about a decade and so have never utilized it.  So this is
not a bug (either in Emacs or Hyperbole).

I guess what you want are commands that move forward and backward among
explicit or named implicit buttons in a buffer which you can then bind to
keys that you like.  I would suggest you close this report and open a new
feature request, describing the full set of behavior you would like.  Then
we could work on that.

Regards,

Bob
