2.8 Other Commands

When invoking a transient in a small frame, the transient window may not show the complete buffer, making it necessary to scroll, using the following commands. These commands are never shown in the transient window, and the key bindings are the same as for scroll-up-command and scroll-down-command in other buffers.

Command: transient-scroll-up arg

This command scrolls text of transient popup window upward ARG lines. If ARG is nil, then it scrolls near full screen. This is a wrapper around scroll-up-command (which see).

Command: transient-scroll-down arg

This command scrolls text of transient popup window down ARG lines. If ARG is nil, then it scrolls near full screen. This is a wrapper around scroll-down-command (which see).

The following commands are not available by default. If you would like to use them for all menus, bind them in transient-map.

Command: transient-copy-menu-text

This command copies the contents of the menu buffer to the kill ring.

Command: transient-toggle-docstrings

This command toggle between showing suffix descriptions in the menu (as usual) or showing the first lines of the respective docstrings in their place. For commands that do not have a docstring, always display the suffix description. Because there likely isn’t enough room to display multiple docstrings side-by-side, a single column is used when displaying docstrings.
