<a name="index-Click-sequences"></a>
<a name="index-Sequence-of-clicks"></a>
<a name="index-GUI-click-sequence"></a>

<a name="index-clicksequence"></a>
<p>When documenting graphical interfaces, it is necessary to describe
sequences such as &lsquo;Click on &lsquo;<samp>File</samp>&rsquo;, then choose &lsquo;<samp>Open</samp>&rsquo;, then
&hellip;&rsquo;.  Texinfo offers commands <code>@clicksequence</code> and
<code>click</code> to represent this, typically used like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">&hellip; @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} &hellip;
</pre></div>

<p>which produces:
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">&hellip; File &rarr; Open &hellip;
</pre></div>

<a name="index-click"></a>
<a name="index-arrow"></a>
<p>The <code>@click</code> command produces a right arrow by default; this
glyph is also available independently via the command
<code>@arrow{}</code>.
</p>
<a name="index-clickstyle"></a>
<p>You can change the glyph produced by <code>@click</code> with the command
<code>@clickstyle</code>, which takes a command name as its single argument
on the rest of the line, much like <code>@itemize</code> and friends
(see <a href="_0040itemize.html#g_t_0040itemize"><tt>@itemize</tt></a>).  The command should produce a glyph, and
the usual empty braces &lsquo;<samp>{}</samp>&rsquo; are omitted.  Here&rsquo;s an example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@clickstyle @result
&hellip; @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} &hellip;
</pre></div>

<p>now produces:
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">&hellip; File &rArr; Open &hellip;
</pre></div>
