Variable: transient-mode-line-format

transient-mode-line-format is a customizable variable defined in transient.el.

Value

line

Documentation

The mode-line format for transient's menu buffer.

If nil, then the buffer has no mode-line. If the buffer is not displayed right above the echo area, then this probably is not a good value.

If line (the default) or a natural number, then the buffer has no mode-line, but a line is drawn in its place. If a number is used, that specifies the thickness of the line. On termcap frames we cannot draw lines, so there line and numbers are synonyms for nil.

The color of the line is used to indicate if non-suffixes are allowed and whether they exit the transient. The foreground color of transient-key-noop (if non-suffixes are disallowed), transient-key-stay (if allowed and transient stays active), or transient-key-exit (if allowed and they exit the transient) is used to draw the line.

Otherwise this can be any mode-line format. See mode-line-format for details.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in transient version 0.2.0.
