lock recent

Type

command

Summary

Sets the lockRecent property to true, preventing cards from being added to the recent cards list.

Syntax

lock recent

Description

Use the lock recent command to move among cards without disturbing the recent cards list.

When either the user or a handler navigates to a card, that card is placed on the recent cards list, and the user can return to it with the go command or the "Go Recent" item in the View menu. If a handler visits a card that is not normally seen by the user, you can use the lock recent command to prevent the user from inadvertently going to that card later.

The lock recent command sets the lockRecent property to true. When all pending handlers are finished executing, the lockRecent property is set back to false.
