Documentation

A minor mode for navigating to buttons with the TAB key.

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Button mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate button-mode(var)/button-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.

<backtab> backward-button
C-M-i backward-button

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
