We allow you to install a custom editing hook which allows you to act
on any keypress or mouse event relevant to the string gadget.  So you can
take whatever action you wish on any of those events.  These actions
can include:

Activating the next or previous string gadget (say on <TAB> or <BACK-TAB>)
Constraining the form of the input (eg. phone numbers, or postal codes)
Other functions you used to use menu equivalents for
etc.
