;; An element is as for now either a button or the ERC input
;; prompt but it should or could be any interactive object
;; visible in the ERC buffer.
;;
;; To use this with keys, bind for example backtab to
;; `erc-element-prev' and C-<tab> to `erc-element-next' in
;; `erc-mode-map'. But note then that these keys must also be
;; bound the same way in `erc-button-keymap' since that is in
;; effect when point is over a button.
