Action manager¶

/home/runner/work/napari/napari/examples/action_manager.py:43: FutureWarning: Public access to Window.qt_viewer is deprecated and will be removed in
v0.5.0. It is considered an "implementation detail" of the napari
application, not part of the napari viewer model. If your use case
requires access to qt_viewer, please open an issue to discuss.

    The `viewer` parameter needs to be named `viewer`, the action manager will
