What is the complete list of valid Front End Tokens?

Question

What is the complete list of valid Front End Tokens? Preferably, by version number.

Keywords: FrontEndToken, FrontEndTokenExecute.

---

Have any new tokens been introduced since this question was first posted?

Answer 1

I got a request to post here the undocumented tokens I already posted in an old answer on SO.

For completion, I merged my list (which is also in the link provided by @Chris) with @Rojo's list. Later, the list was merged with Vladimir's list below and two more tokens were included, so as to have here a repository of all known FE tokens.

Please feel free to update this answer as new tokens are found.

Quoting John Fultz when he gave the list in Jan 2009:

The list is comparatively complete, excepting option names (which can also be used as tokens)

The MenuList tokens don't do anything. They're just menu placeholders. Here's something interesting you can do with them...

DynamicModule[{font}, 
 Row[{PopupMenu[Dynamic[font], 
    FE`Evaluate[FEPrivate`GetPopupList["MenuListFonts"]]], Spacer[20],
    Style["The quick brown fox", 20, FontFamily -> Dynamic[font]]}]]

FE`Evaluate[FEPrivate`GetPopupList[#]]& returns values appropriate for PopupMenu, and several FE interfaces take advantage of this, so it's unlikely to change in the future (although I wouldn't be surprised if such useful functionality makes its way into much simpler a top-level function some day).

Edit by Jacob

Let's call the list that was here before I made my edit originalList. The list found by Vladimir (vladimirList), contains most of the items in originalList. The items that were in originalList, but not in vladimirList (Complement[originalList, vladimirList]) are the following.

{"FrontEnd`ButtonNotebook[]","FrontEnd`EvaluationNotebook[]",
"FrontEnd`InputNotebook[]","FrontEnd`MessagesNotebook[]",
"FrontEnd`Private`nb",
"FrontEndToken[FrontEnd`ButtonNotebook[],\"HyperlinkGo\",`distance`]",
"$CellContext`inputnb$$","$CellContext`sourceNotebook$$"}

I am not sure how these items work and they seem to be different from other tokens. Probably reading the quote by John Fultz is a good first step towards understanding them.

The vladimirList contains a lot of tokens that were not present in the original list. So great work by Vladimir. Even if you do not understand/like the "special tokens" that are in Complement[originalList, vladimirList], please realise that vladimirList is not exhaustive anyway, as it also does contain

{"SelectNextExpression", "SelectPreviousExpression"};

Answer 2

This method only returns a few of them, hopefully including some undocumented ones. It's not intended to be a complete answer.

fnames = FileNames[
   "*.nb" | 
    "*.tr", {FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", 
      "FrontEnd", "StyleSheets"}], 
    FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", 
      "TextResources"}], 
    FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", 
      "SystemResources"}]}, Infinity];

fimps = Import[#, "Text"] & /@ fnames;

DeleteDuplicates@
    Flatten@StringCases[fimps, 
      Shortest[
       "FrontEndToken[" ~~ (i___ /; 
          SameQ @@ (StringCount[i, #] & /@ {"[", "]"})) ~~ "]"]] // 
   StringReplace[#, Whitespace -> ""] & // 
  MakeExpression[#, StandardForm][[1, 1]] & /@ # & // DeleteDuplicates//Sort//Column

gives

{
 {"AlignBottoms"},
 {"AlignCentersHorizontally"},
 {"AlignCentersVertically"},
 {"AlignLeftSides"},
 {"AlignRightSides"},
 {"AlignTops"},
 {"CellTagsFind"},
 {"Clear"},
 {"ClearCellOptions"},

"},
 {"GenerateImageCaches"},
 {"GraphicsRender"},
 {"Group"},

 {$CellContext`inputnb$$},
 {FrontEnd`Private`nb},
 {FrontEnd`ButtonNotebook[]},
 {FrontEnd`EvaluationNotebook[]},
 {FrontEnd`InputNotebook[]},
 {FrontEnd`MessagesNotebook[]}
}

If it's about stuff that FrontEndExecute can run, then Names["FrontEnd`*"] and Names["FE`*"] should give a big enough list not to paste in here, let alone Names["FrontEnd`*`*"] and Names["FE`*`*"]

Answer 3

There is a list posted in 2009 from John Fultz on the MathGroup here.

No version information. Rojo's list has some new ones.

Length@RojosList

56

Length@JohnsList

266

Length@Intersection[RojosList, JohnsList]

35

Answer 4

Here is a combined list from belisarius' old answer of undocumented tokens given by John Fultz in Jan 2009, and tokens obtained from Mathematica system files. 80 of these were not listed in earlier answers. The list is obtained using Rojo's idea, but upgraded and corrected.

fnames = FileNames["*.nb" | "*.tr", {
FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", 
  "StyleSheets"}],
FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", 
  "TextResources"}],
FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", 
  "SystemResources"}]
}, Infinity];

fimps = Import[#, "Text"] & /@ fnames;

frontend = Flatten@ StringCases[fimps, 
     Shortest["FrontEndToken[\"" ~~ x__ ~~ "\""] -> x];

menuitems = DeleteDuplicates@Flatten@StringCases[fimps, 
     Shortest["Item[" ~~ (i___ /; SameQ @@ (StringCount[i, #] & /@ {"[", "]"})) ~~ "]"]];
menutokens = If[(d = StringPosition[#, "\", \""]) != {} && (d = d[[1, 1]]) == StringPosition[#, "\","][[1, 1]],
     StringTake[#, {d + 4, StringPosition[#, "\""][[4, 1]] - 1}]] & /@ menuitems;
menutokens = Complement[menutokens, {Null}];

keyitems = DeleteDuplicates@Flatten@StringCases[fimps, 
     Shortest["Item[KeyEvent[" ~~ __ ~~ "]," ~~ Whitespace ~~ "\"" ~~ (i___ /; SameQ @@ (StringCount[i, #] & /@ {"[", "]"})) ~~ "\"]"]];
keyitems = Flatten@StringCases[keyitems, "Item[KeyEvent[" ~~ __ ~~ "]," ~~ Whitespace ~~ "\"" ~~ (x___ /; (StringCount[x, "\""] == 0)) ~~ "\"]" -> x];

l = frontend \[Union] menutokens \[Union] keyitems;
l // Sort // Column

The code finally gives more than two hundred tokens. Combined with the old list gives 360 in total:

To make a token use the function FrontEndToken["Name"]

Answer 5

I scraped all the possible FrontEndToken[___] and FrontEndTokenExecute[___] data possible (I think) from the notebooks and packages in the installation directory and I have a few things that have clearly been added since the list was last updated. I won't post the entire list I found as most of that stuff is guide references and titles but there are a few fun finds.

First there's the new way to open the find dialog (in the lists provided it is FindDialog but that seems not to work. What does work in 11 in FindExpression.

Also this method provides usage data so I found that you can use the Style token to basically cell print a new cell with that style.

e.g. FrontEndTokenExecute[nb:_NotebookObject:InputNotebook[],"Style",stylename_] to cell print a cell of that style. This is almost certainly how the "Style" menu does its thing.

There's also the Toggle token that toggles settings, like bold text: FrontEndTokenExecute[InputNotebook[], "FontWeight", Toggle] the same thing exists for {"FontWeight", "FontSlant", "FontVariationsUnderline", "FontSize"} it seems.

It can also be used as a general options setter via, for example, FrontEndTokenExecute[InputNotebook[], "CellFrame", {{1, 1}, {1, 1}}] which sets the cell frame. I also found "WholeCellGroupOpener" and "CellFrameColor" although things like "ShowGroupOpener" also work. Basically the front end can set any cell option via a token. Not too surprising, but worth knowing.

What I ended up finding that is, I think, not on any of the previous lists is this:

{"Background", "CellFrame", "CellFrameColor", "ClearCropMarker", 
"ClearMaskMarkers", "ClearMultiSelMarkers", "ClearPixelPointMarkers", 
"FindExpression", "FontSize", "FontSlant", "FontVariationsUnderline", 
"FontWeight", "GlobalPreferences", "LicenseAgreementDialog", 
"NotebookSecurity", "OpenCloudObject", "SelectNextCell", 
"SelectPreviousCell", "WholeCellGroupOpener", "WolframCloudLogout"}

Most of these are style options/toggle values and the Clear* family seem to throw errors generally (the way they are used is FrontEndTokenExecute[token]).

OpenCloudObject and WolframCloudLogout are both used with FrontEndTokenExecute although the WolframCloudLogout seems to take a second boolean argument (False in whatever source file it came from)

{"GlobalPreferences", "NotebookSecurity"} are just options dialogs (used with "OptionsDialog".

Beware of LicenseAgreementDialog as it just opens a license agreement that quits Mathematica altogether if you close the window. Not useful.

In fact the only real finds here are SelectNextCell and SelectPreviousCell which I think need no explanation.

UPDATE

Since I have the usage data, why not post it here? Each of these is just a sample usage. For many of these keys there were multiple usage entries. Note that there are tons of tokens missing from this. Almost certainly I just missed some files in scraping or the "HeldExpressions" package element couldn't be imported.

Answer 6

This is not a proper answer. Rather, it provides some tools to handle the lists of tokens in other answers.

Let

jacobList = {"SelectNextExpression", "SelectPreviousExpression"};

I used the code below to merge the lists by belisarius (originalList), Vladimir (vladimirList) and myself (jacobList).

You can set vladimirList = l, where l is defined in Vladimir's answer.

After executing the code, there is a string on the clipboard that is will be a nicely formatted code block on this site.

CopyToClipboard@
 StringJoin[
  Append[Prepend[
    Riffle[ToString[#, InputForm] & /@ 
      Union[vladimirList, originalList, jacobTokenStrings], 
     ",\n    "], "    {\n    "], "\n    }"]]

Text to list (perhaps a bit silly)

Vladimir provides a list in a code block. In order to turn this into a proper List, take the following steps (as an alternative to just evaluating his code).

First, copy the contents of the code block.

Then, execute the following code in one cell

(*Depends on having the right data on the clipboard*)
Cell["", "Text", CellTags -> "vladimir"] // CellPrint
SelectionMove[EvaluationNotebook[], Before, CellContents]
Paste[]
Block[{vladimirCell},
 vladimirCell = Cells[CellTags -> "vladimir"] // First;
 vladimirList = 
  StringSplit[NotebookRead[vladimirCell][[1]], (" " | "\n") ..];
 NotebookDelete[vladimirCell]
 ]
