[Openmcl-devel] How do I move the cursor in a window under program control?

[Ron Garret]

It’s a bit hackish, but this seems to do the trick:

(easygui::running-on-main-thread ()
  (hi::handle-hemlock-event
   (gui::front-view-for-buffer (gui::hemlock-buffer (GUI::TOP-LISTENER-DOCUMENT)))
   #k"end”))

Thanks, Gail!

That should insure that whatever weirdness we do around hemlock events also gets done around your code.  Just running on the main thread is not enough context for doing editor things, at least not any more.
