CHAPTER 23. PRESENTATION TYPES

prompt and/or default in a top-level accept and suppresses putting parentheses around the
prompt and/or default in a nested accept.

query-identifier is used within accepting-values to identify the field within the dialog.

activation-gestures is a list of gesture names that will override the current activation gestures
(which are stored in *activation-gestures*). Alternatively, additional-activation-gestures can
be supplied to add activation gestures without overriding the current ones. See Chapter 24 for
a discussion of activation gestures.

delimiter-gestures is a list of gesture names that will override the current delimiter gestures
(which are stored in *delimiter-gestures*). Alternatively, additional-delimiter-gestures can
be supplied to add delimiter gestures without overriding the current ones. See Chapter 24 for a
discussion of delimiter gestures.

=> accept-from-string type string &key view default default-type start end [Function]
Like accept, except that the input is taken from string, starting at the position specified by
start and ending at end. view, default, and default-type are as for accept.

accept-from-string returns an object and a presentation type (as in accept), but also returns
a third value, the index at which input terminated.

=> prompt-for-accept stream type view &rest accept-args &key [Generic Function]
Called by accept to prompt the user for input of presentation type type on the stream stream
for the view view. accept-args are all of the keyword arguments supplied to accept. The default
method (on standard-extended-input-stream) simply calls prompt-for-accept-1.

=> prompt-for-accept-1 stream type &key default default-type display-default prompt prompt-mode
&allow-other-keys [Function]
Prompts the user for input of presentation type type on the stream stream.

If the boolean display-default is true, then the default is displayed; otherwise, the default is not
displayed. When the default is being displayed, default and default-type are the taken as the
object and presentation type of the default to display. display-default defaults to true if prompt
is non-nil, otherwise it defaults to false.

If prompt is nil, no prompt is displayed. If it is a string, that string is displayed as the prompt.
If prompt is t (the default), the prompt is generated by calling describe-presentation-type
to produce a prompt of the form "Enter a type:" in a top-level call to accept, or "(type)" in a
nested call to accept.

prompt-mode can be :normal (the default) or :raw, which suppresses putting a colon after the
prompt and/or default in a top-level accept and suppresses putting parentheses around the
prompt and/or default in a nested accept.
