  • I don't see a way to hook into notify for this. TAB and RET don't seem to trigger an event for an editable-field that runs the :notify function. I wonder if the way to do it would be to advise widget-field-activate, widget-forward, and widget-backward so that before they run, they could run an update function (probably not the one for notify though?

  • As long as there are alternatives, which can trigger upon exiting a widget, it does not need to specifically run commands through :notify inside a specific widget. Though I think it is dedicated for that pupose. An example of a command I want to run is to use a name to find the login in an LDAP tree. For obvious reasons I do not want to spam LDAP with unfinished names to find the login, but have it only search for it once I am done entering the name. Of course, I can introduce a button to manually search for it, but would prefer an automated solution. Commented Aug 13, 2021 at 5:45
