I wish I understood the event system better. My primitive view is that the OS sends J a bunch of events, and J decides which ones it will handle and which it will pass to user code, and discards the rest.
Like Bill says, nowadays J can handle a lot of events. Why not have a foreign that lets the J app indicate what events it will handle? Then there will be no need for system modification every time a user makes a good case for an event. The call would be something like EVENT_HOVER 9!:51 <'hover' to start handling the HOVER event. For events associated with a form, the event will pass to wdhandler to be processed in the form's locale. The right argument to 9!:51 is the name of the handler (wdhandler will append form_ and child_ as appropriate). For other events, the given handler will be called directly.
