Instruction set reference
HIPE_OP_EDIT_STATUS
Used to determine which edit actions are available, i.e. applicable to the currently selected content or fucused element. This is useful for creating an 'Edit' menu with unavailable options removed.
This operation can only be carried out at the level of an entire frame, and affects child frames and their descendents within the current or selected frame.
Further to this, only a top-level frame is permitted to manage editing functions. Due to a limitation in webkit and hipecore, there is currently no way to scope editing actions to a particular frame and are instead dictated by which element within the entire frame hierarchy currently has focus.
If the instruction is run on anything other than a top-level frame, a response is produced indicating no editing functions are available.
- location: 0 to act on current frame, or the location of a child frame. If a non-frame location is specified, the operation is applied to the current frame.
- arg[0]: A string of "action code" characters for the functions that may be required. See below

Notes
This operation takes a string of action codes, e.g. "xcv" and the server responds with the same opcode containing a string with unavailable actions removed.
