Forms API reference (http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/file/contributions/docs/developer/topics/...) says:

#submit
Used by: button, submit
Description: Indicates whether or not button should submit the form.
Values: TRUE or FALSE

However, in forms.inc we have, in theme_button (http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/function/theme_button), the 'submit' type is hardcoded. A simple patch is attached to use the #submit attribute (if set, otherwise continue using the 'submit' type).

#submit as been renamed to executes_submit_callback. Nothing to change here.

Oh... sorry about sounding ignorant, but is this documented anywhere? How could one have found out about this?

I second the question (and reassigned this as a documentation bug). Is the Forms API reference invalid for 4.7 or only for HEAD/4.8?

BTW, on api.drupal.org, this attribute is still listed, but does not link to anything:

http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/file/developer/topics/api/head/file/contr...

gives a page not found error.

this last minute change has not yet been incorporated into the form API reference. It's rarely needed anyways...

I'm confused by the discussion above- isn't $form['#submit'] now where one adds additional submit handlers? E.g.:

function comment_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
  if ($form_id == 'node_type_form' ) {
    $form['#submit']['comment_workflow_form_submit'] = array();
}

this doesn't appears at all in the Forms API documentation
