1.2 Transient Conventions

Casual is built using Transient menus and as such adopts its default behavior.

Each menu item has a key and a label. The key is what is typed by the user to select the menu item. A key can be prefixed with a meta M- or control C- key.

Transient supports nested menus. Exiting a menu can be done in two ways:

If a mouse is available, a menu item can be selected by moving the mouse cursor over its label and pressing down button 1.

Pressing the ? key or C-h will toggle help for all the menu items. Press the key of interest to get help for it.

When a Transient menu is raised, a prefix argument (C-u) and an optional argument can be entered before selecting a menu item.

For Transient menus that offer setting different values, the following bindings will allow you save them:
