+// `button` parameter threaded through every keyboard call site, with the
+// builtin dispatch nested INSIDE it, is now one word each.

+// The operand is `arg` in both — a name's tail (`Look main.zig`), else the
+// selection a chord kept, else the word the gesture pointed at, which the
+// gesture resolves and passes. Nothing to act on means nothing happens, the
+// way `Save` on a terminal is inert.
