It is interesting to see how different people are handling these types of 
things.

I've just been doing something like this:

if ctx.has_value('submit'):
    # do the submit stuff
elif ctx.has_value('cancel'):
    # do the cancel stuff

etc...

Where 'submit' or 'cancel' or what have you is the name of the submit-type 
form element.

I don't see any downside to this technique?
