Variable: transient-show-menu

transient-show-menu is a customizable variable defined in transient.el.

Value

t

Documentation

Whether and when to show transient's menu in a buffer.

- If t (the default), then show the buffer as soon as a transient
  prefix command is invoked.

- If nil, then do not show the buffer unless the user explicitly
  requests it, by pressing C-t (transient-show) or a prefix key.

- If a number, then delay displaying the buffer and instead show
  a brief one-line summary. If zero or negative, then suppress
  even showing that summary and display the pressed key only.

  Show the buffer once the user explicitly requests it by pressing
  C-t (transient-show) or a prefix key. Unless zero, then also show the buffer
  after that many seconds of inactivity (using the absolute value).

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in transient version 0.1.0.
