Documentation

A flag to control extra guidance given by input methods.

The value should be nil, t, complex-only, or default.

The extra guidance is done by showing list of available keys in echo area. When you use the input method in the minibuffer, the guidance is shown at the bottom short window (split from the existing window).

If the value is t, extra guidance is always given, if the value is nil, extra guidance is always suppressed.

If the value is complex-only, only complex input methods such as chinese-py and japanese give extra guidance.

If the value is default, complex input methods always give extra guidance, but simple input methods give it only when you are not in the minibuffer.

See also the variable input-method-highlight-flag.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 20.3.
