The editor has an extensive set of edit actions which are assigned to keys,
mouse events, prefix commands, toolbar buttons, and pop-up and pulldown menu items.
Actions differ from commands in that they do not accept parameters, and have an
availability state associated with them.
The availability state determines, for example, whether a menu item associated
with an action should be enabled or not.
