selectedButton

Value returned: the domain and number (for example, card button 3) of the highlighted button in the specified button family on the current card or background

If you don't specify card (or cd) or background (or bg or bkgnd), the family is assumed to be on the card layer.

If no button in the specified family is highlighted, selectedButton returns empty.

If the specified family doesn't exist, you get an error dialog box.
