selected-outline-item

Arguments: outline

Returns the outline-item that is currently selected in outline (which should be an instance of the outline class), or nil if no item is selected. If the multiple-selections property of the outline is currently true, then a list of zero or more outline-items is returned instead.

The value of this outline-item (or the list of the values of multiple items) is also the value of the outline itself. It is more efficient to pass an outline-item rather than its value to some outline functions.

The selected item is usually the same as the focused-outline-item, but not if scrolling with the keyboard has focused on an item that is in view without changing the selected item.

See also select-outline-item and focused-outline-item.
