nil

Documentation

If non-nil, SPC (Info-scroll-up) in a menu visits subnodes.

If this is non-nil, and you scroll far enough in a node that its menu appears on the screen, the next SPC (Info-scroll-up) moves to a subnode indicated by the following menu item. This means that you visit a subnode before getting to the end of the menu.

Setting this option to nil results in behavior similar to the stand-alone Info reader program, which visits the first subnode from the menu only when you hit the end of the current node.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.2.
