3.2 Global Buttons
Access to explicit buttons depends upon the information on your screen
since they are embedded within particular buffers. Sometimes it is
useful to activate buttons without regard to the information with which
you are presently working. In such instances, you use global
buttons, which are simply explicit buttons which may be activated or
otherwise operated upon by entering their labels when they are prompted
for, rather than selecting the buttons within a buffer.
If you want a permanent link to a file section that you can follow at
any time, you can use a global button. Or what about an Emacs keyboard
macro that you use frequently? Create an exec-kbd-macro button
with an easy to type name and then you can easily activate it whenever
the need arises.
