 1 Introduction
 **************
 
 Transient is the library used to implement the keyboard-driven “menus”
 in Magit.  It is distributed as a separate package, so that it can be
 used to implement similar menus in other packages.
 
    This manual can be bit hard to digest when getting started.  A useful
 resource to get over that hurdle is Psionic K’s interactive tutorial,
 available at <https://github.com/positron-solutions/transient-showcase>.
 
 Some things that Transient can do
 =================================
 
    • Display current state of arguments
    • Display and manage lifecycle of modal bindings
    • Contextual user interface
    • Flow control for wizard-like composition of interactive forms
    • History & persistence
    • Rendering arguments for controlling CLI programs
 
 Complexity in CLI programs
 ==========================
 
 Complexity tends to grow with time.  How do you manage the complexity of
 commands?  Consider the humble shell command ‘ls’.  It now has over
 _fifty_ command line options.  Some of these are boolean flags (‘ls
 -l’).  Some take arguments (‘ls --sort=s’).  Some have no effect unless
 paired with other flags (‘ls -lh’).  Some are mutually exclusive.  Some
 shell commands even have so many options that they introduce
 _subcommands_ (‘git branch’, ‘git commit’), each with their own rich set
 of options (‘git branch -f’).
 
 Using Transient for composing interactive commands
 ==================================================
 
 What about Emacs commands used interactively?  How do these handle
 options?  One solution is to make many versions of the same command, so
 you don’t need to!  Consider: ‘delete-other-windows’ vs.
 ‘delete-other-windows-vertically’ (among many similar examples).
 
    Some Emacs commands will simply prompt you for the next "argument"
 (‘M-x switch-to-buffer’).  Another common solution is to use prefix
 arguments which usually start with ‘C-u’.  Sometimes these are sensibly
 numerical in nature (‘C-u 4 M-x forward-paragraph’ to move forward 4
 paragraphs).  But sometimes they function instead as boolean "switches"
 (‘C-u C-SPACE’ to jump to the last mark instead of just setting it, ‘C-u
 C-u C-SPACE’ to unconditionally set the mark).  Since there aren’t many
 standards for the use of prefix options, you have to read the command’s
 documentation to find out what the possibilities are.
 
    But when an Emacs command grows to have a truly large set of options
 and arguments, with dependencies between them, lots of option values,
 etc., these simple approaches just don’t scale.  Transient is designed
 to solve this issue.  Think of it as the humble prefix argument ‘C-u’,
 _raised to the power of 10_.  Like ‘C-u’, it is key driven.  Like the
 shell, it supports boolean "flag" options, options that take arguments,
 and even "sub-commands", with their own options.  But instead of
 searching through a man page or command documentation, well-designed
 transients _guide_ their users to the relevant set of options (and even
 their possible values!)  directly, taking into account any important
 pre-existing Emacs settings.  And while for shell commands like ‘ls’,
 there is only one way to "execute" (hit ‘Return’!), transients can
 "execute" using multiple different keys tied to one of many
 self-documenting _actions_ (imagine having 5 different colored return
 keys on your keyboard!).  Transients make navigating and setting large,
 complex groups of command options and arguments easy.  Fun even.  Once
 you’ve tried it, it’s hard to go back to the ‘C-u what can I do here
 again?’ way.

 2.1 Invoking Transients
 =======================
 
 A transient prefix command is invoked like any other command by pressing
 the key that is bound to that command.  The main difference to other
 commands is that a transient prefix command activates a transient
 keymap, which temporarily binds the transient’s infix and suffix
 commands.  Bindings from other keymaps may, or may not, be disabled
 while the transient state is in effect.
 
    There are two kinds of commands that are available after invoking a
 transient prefix command; infix and suffix commands.  Infix commands set
 some value (which is then shown in a popup buffer), without leaving the
 transient.  Suffix commands, on the other hand, usually quit the
 transient and they may use the values set by the infix commands, i.e.,
 the infix *arguments*.
 
    Instead of setting arguments to be used by a suffix command, infix
 commands may also set some value by side-effect, e.g., by setting the
 value of some variable.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Aborting and Resuming Transients,  Next: Common Suffix Commands,  Prev: Invoking Transients,  Up: Usage
 
 2.2 Aborting and Resuming Transients
 ====================================
 
 To quit the transient without invoking a suffix command press ‘C-g’.
 
    Key bindings in transient keymaps may be longer than a single event.
 After pressing a valid prefix key, all commands whose bindings do not
 begin with that prefix key are temporarily unavailable and grayed out.
 To abort the prefix key press ‘C-g’ (which in this case only quits the
 prefix key, but not the complete transient).
 
    A transient prefix command can be bound as a suffix of another
 transient.  Invoking such a suffix replaces the current transient state
 with a new transient state, i.e., the available bindings change and the
 information displayed in the popup buffer is updated accordingly.
 Pressing ‘C-g’ while a nested transient is active only quits the
 innermost transient, causing a return to the previous transient.
 
    ‘C-q’ or ‘C-z’ on the other hand always exits all transients.  If you
 use the latter, then you can later resume the stack of transients using
 ‘M-x transient-resume’.
 
 ‘C-g’ (‘transient-quit-seq’)
 ‘C-g’ (‘transient-quit-one’)
      This key quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if
      any, or else the current transient.  When quitting the current
      transient, it returns to the previous transient, if any.
 
    Transient’s predecessor bound ‘q’ instead of ‘C-g’ to the quit
 command.  To learn how to get that binding back see
 ‘transient-bind-q-to-quit’’s documentation string.
 
 ‘C-q’ (‘transient-quit-all’)
      This command quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if
      any, and all transients, including the active transient and all
      suspended transients, if any.
 
 ‘C-z’ (‘transient-suspend’)
      Like ‘transient-quit-all’, this command quits an incomplete key
      sequence, if any, and all transients.  Additionally, it saves the
      stack of transients so that it can easily be resumed (which is
      particularly useful if you quickly need to do “something else” and
      the stack is deeper than a single transient, and/or you have
      already changed the values of some infix arguments).
 
      Note that only a single stack of transients can be saved at a time.
      If another stack is already saved, then saving a new stack discards
      the previous stack.
 
 ‘M-x transient-resume’
      This command resumes the previously suspended stack of transients,
      if any.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Common Suffix Commands,  Next: Saving Values,  Prev: Aborting and Resuming Transients,  Up: Usage
 
 2.3 Common Suffix Commands
 ==========================
 
 A few shared suffix commands are available in all transients.  These
 suffix commands are not shown in the popup buffer by default.
 
    This includes the aborting commands mentioned in the previous
 section, as well as some other commands that are all bound to ‘C-x KEY’.
 After ‘C-x’ is pressed, a section featuring all these common commands is
 temporarily shown in the popup buffer.  After invoking one of them, the
 section disappears again.  Note, however, that one of these commands is
 described as “Show common permanently”; invoke that if you want the
 common commands to always be shown for all transients.
 
 ‘C-x t’ (‘transient-toggle-common’)
      This command toggles whether the generic commands that are common
      to all transients are always displayed or only after typing the
      incomplete prefix key sequence ‘C-x’.  This only affects the
      current Emacs session.
 
  -- User Option: transient-show-common-commands
      This option controls whether shared suffix commands are shown
      alongside the transient-specific infix and suffix commands.  By
      default, the shared commands are not shown to avoid overwhelming
      the user with too many options.
 
      While a transient is active, pressing ‘C-x’ always shows the common
      commands.  The value of this option can be changed for the current
      Emacs session by typing ‘C-x t’ while a transient is active.
 
    The other common commands are described in either the previous or in
 one of the following sections.
 
    Some of Transient’s key bindings differ from the respective bindings
 of Magit-Popup; see *note FAQ:: for more information.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Saving Values,  Next: Using History,  Prev: Common Suffix Commands,  Up: Usage
 
 2.4 Saving Values
 =================
 
 After setting the infix arguments in a transient, the user can save
 those arguments for future invocations.
 
    Most transients will start out with the saved arguments when they are
 invoked.  There are a few exceptions, though.  Some transients are
 designed so that the value that they use is stored externally as the
 buffer-local value of some variable.  Invoking such a transient again
 uses the buffer-local value.  (1)
 
    If the user does not save the value and just exits using a regular
 suffix command, then the value is merely saved to the transient’s
 history.  That value won’t be used when the transient is next invoked,
 but it is easily accessible (see *note Using History::).
 
 ‘C-x s’ (‘transient-set’)
      This command saves the value of the active transient for this Emacs
      session.
 
 ‘C-x C-s’ (‘transient-save’)
      Save the value of the active transient persistently across Emacs
      sessions.
 
 ‘C-x C-k’ (‘transient-reset’)
      Clear the set and saved values of the active transient.
 
  -- User Option: transient-values-file
      This option names the file that is used to persist the values of
      transients between Emacs sessions.
 
    ---------- Footnotes ----------
 
    (1) ‘magit-diff’ and ‘magit-log’ are two prominent examples, and
 their handling of buffer-local values is actually a bit more complicated
 than outlined above and even customizable.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Using History,  Next: Getting Help for Suffix Commands,  Prev: Saving Values,  Up: Usage
 
 2.5 Using History
 =================
 
 Every time the user invokes a suffix command the transient’s current
 value is saved to its history.  These values can be cycled through the
 same way one can cycle through the history of commands that read
 user-input in the minibuffer.
 
 ‘C-M-p’ (‘transient-history-prev’)
 ‘C-x p’
      This command switches to the previous value used for the active
      transient.
 
 ‘C-M-n’ (‘transient-history-next’)
 ‘C-x n’
      This command switches to the next value used for the active
      transient.
 
    In addition to the transient-wide history, Transient of course
 supports per-infix history.  When an infix reads user-input using the
 minibuffer, the user can use the regular minibuffer history commands to
 cycle through previously used values.  Usually the same keys as those
 mentioned above are bound to those commands.
 
    Authors of transients should arrange for different infix commands
 that read the same kind of value to also use the same history key (see
 *note Suffix Slots::).
 
    Both kinds of history are saved to a file when Emacs is exited.
 
  -- User Option: transient-history-file
      This option names the file that is used to persist the history of
      transients and their infixes between Emacs sessions.
 
  -- User Option: transient-history-limit
      This option controls how many history elements are kept at the time
      the history is saved in ‘transient-history-file’.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Getting Help for Suffix Commands,  Next: Enabling and Disabling Suffixes,  Prev: Using History,  Up: Usage
 
 2.6 Getting Help for Suffix Commands
 ====================================
 
 Transients can have many suffixes and infixes that the user might not be
 familiar with.  To make it trivial to get help for these, Transient
 provides access to the documentation directly from the active transient.
 
 ‘C-h’ (‘transient-help’)
      This command enters help mode.  When help mode is active, typing a
      key shows information about the suffix command that the key
      normally is bound to (instead of invoking it).  Pressing ‘C-h’ a
      second time shows information about the _prefix_ command.
 
      After typing a key, the stack of transient states is suspended and
      information about the suffix command is shown instead.  Typing ‘q’
      in the help buffer buries that buffer and resumes the transient
      state.
 
    What sort of documentation is shown depends on how the transient was
 defined.  For infix commands that represent command-line arguments this
 ideally shows the appropriate manpage.  ‘transient-help’ then tries to
 jump to the correct location within that.  Info manuals are also
 supported.  The fallback is to show the command’s documentation string,
 for non-infix suffixes this is usually appropriate.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Enabling and Disabling Suffixes,  Next: Other Commands,  Prev: Getting Help for Suffix Commands,  Up: Usage
 
 2.7 Enabling and Disabling Suffixes
 ===================================
 
 The user base of a package that uses transients can be very diverse.
 This is certainly the case for Magit; some users have been using it and
 Git for a decade, while others are just getting started now.
 
    For that reason a mechanism is needed that authors can use to
 classify a transient’s infixes and suffixes along the
 essentials...everything spectrum.  We use the term “levels” to describe
 that mechanism.
 
    Each suffix command is placed on a level and each transient has a
 level (called “transient-level”), which controls which suffix commands
 are available.  Integers between 1 and 7 (inclusive) are valid levels.
 For suffixes, 0 is also valid; it means that the suffix is not displayed
 at any level.
 
    The levels of individual transients and/or their individual suffixes
 can be changed interactively, by invoking the transient and then
 pressing ‘C-x l’ to enter the “edit” mode, see below.
 
    The default level for both transients and their suffixes is 4.  The
 ‘transient-default-level’ option only controls the default for
 transients.  The default suffix level is always 4.  The authors of
 transients should place certain suffixes on a higher level, if they
 expect that it won’t be of use to most users, and they should place very
 important suffixes on a lower level, so that they remain available even
 if the user lowers the transient level.
 
  -- User Option: transient-default-level
      This option controls which suffix levels are made available by
      default.  It sets the transient-level for transients for which the
      user has not set that individually.
 
  -- User Option: transient-levels-file
      This option names the file that is used to persist the levels of
      transients and their suffixes between Emacs sessions.
 
 ‘C-x l’ (‘transient-set-level’)
      This command enters edit mode.  When edit mode is active, then all
      infixes and suffixes that are currently usable are displayed along
      with their levels.  The colors of the levels indicate whether they
      are enabled or not.  The level of the transient is also displayed
      along with some usage information.
 
      In edit mode, pressing the key that would usually invoke a certain
      suffix instead prompts the user for the level that suffix should be
      placed on.
 
      Help mode is available in edit mode.
 
      To change the transient level press ‘C-x l’ again.
 
      To exit edit mode press ‘C-g’.
 
      Note that edit mode does not display any suffixes that are not
      currently usable.  ‘magit-rebase’, for example, shows different
      suffixes depending on whether a rebase is already in progress or
      not.  The predicates also apply in edit mode.
 
      Therefore, to control which suffixes are available given a certain
      state, you have to make sure that that state is currently active.
 
 ‘C-x a’ (‘transient-toggle-level-limit’)
      This command toggle whether suffixes that are on levels higher than
      the level specified by ‘transient-default-level’ are temporarily
      available anyway.

 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).

 2.9 Configuration
 =================
 
 More options are described in *note Common Suffix Commands::, in *note
 Saving Values::, in *note Using History:: and in *note Enabling and
 Disabling Suffixes::.
 
 Essential Options
 -----------------
 
 Also see *note Common Suffix Commands::.
 
  -- User Option: transient-show-popup
      This option controls whether the current transient’s infix and
      suffix commands are shown in the popup buffer.
 
         • If ‘t’ (the default) then the popup buffer is shown as soon as
           a transient prefix command is invoked.
 
         • If ‘nil’, then the popup buffer is not shown unless the user
           explicitly requests it, by pressing an incomplete prefix key
           sequence.
 
         • If a number, then the a brief one-line summary is shown
           instead of the popup buffer.  If zero or negative, then not
           even that summary is shown; only the pressed key itself is
           shown.
 
           The popup is shown when the user explicitly requests it by
           pressing an incomplete prefix key sequence.  Unless this is
           zero, the popup is shown after that many seconds of inactivity
           (using the absolute value).
 
  -- User Option: transient-enable-popup-navigation
      This option controls whether navigation commands are enabled in the
      transient popup buffer.
 
      While a transient is active the transient popup buffer is not the
      current buffer, making it necessary to use dedicated commands to
      act on that buffer itself.  This is disabled by default.  If this
      option is non-‘nil’, then the following features are available:
 
         • ‘<UP>’ moves the cursor to the previous suffix.
         • ‘<DOWN>’ moves the cursor to the next suffix.
         • ‘<RET>’ invokes the suffix the cursor is on.
         • ‘mouse-1’ invokes the clicked on suffix.
         • ‘C-s’ and ‘C-r’ start isearch in the popup buffer.
 
  -- User Option: transient-display-buffer-action
      This option specifies the action used to display the transient
      popup buffer.  The transient popup buffer is displayed in a window
      using ‘(display-buffer BUFFER transient-display-buffer-action)’.
 
      The value of this option has the form ‘(FUNCTION . ALIST)’, where
      FUNCTION is a function or a list of functions.  Each such function
      should accept two arguments: a buffer to display and an alist of
      the same form as ALIST.  See *note (elisp)Choosing Window::, for
      details.
 
      The default is:
 
           (display-buffer-in-side-window
             (side . bottom)
             (inhibit-same-window . t)
             (window-parameters (no-other-window . t)))
 
      This displays the window at the bottom of the selected frame.
      Another useful FUNCTION is ‘display-buffer-below-selected’, which
      is what ‘magit-popup’ used by default.  For more alternatives see
      *note (elisp)Buffer Display Action Functions::, and *note
      (elisp)Buffer Display Action Alists::.
 
      Note that the buffer that was current before the transient buffer
      is shown should remain the current buffer.  Many suffix commands
      act on the thing at point, if appropriate, and if the transient
      buffer became the current buffer, then that would change what is at
      point.  To that effect ‘inhibit-same-window’ ensures that the
      selected window is not used to show the transient buffer.
 
      It may be possible to display the window in another frame, but
      whether that works in practice depends on the window-manager.  If
      the window manager selects the new window (Emacs frame), then that
      unfortunately changes which buffer is current.
 
      If you change the value of this option, then you might also want to
      change the value of ‘transient-mode-line-format’.
 
 Accessibility Options
 ---------------------
 
  -- User Option: transient-force-single-column
      This option controls whether the use of a single column to display
      suffixes is enforced.  This might be useful for users with low
      vision who use large text and might otherwise have to scroll in two
      dimensions.
 
 Auxiliary Options
 -----------------
 
  -- User Option: transient-mode-line-format
      This option controls whether the transient popup buffer has a
      mode-line, separator line, or neither.
 
      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 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-suffix 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 *note (elisp)Mode
      Line Format::, for details.
 
  -- User Option: transient-semantic-coloring
      This option controls whether colors are used to indicate the
      transient behavior of commands.
 
      If non-‘nil’, then the key binding of each suffix is colorized to
      indicate whether it exits the transient state or not.  The color of
      the prefix is indicated using the line that is drawn when the value
      of ‘transient-mode-line-format’ is ‘line’.
 
  -- User Option: transient-highlight-mismatched-keys
      This option controls whether key bindings of infix commands that do
      not match the respective command-line argument should be
      highlighted.  For other infix commands this option has no effect.
 
      When this option is non-‘nil’, the key binding for an infix
      argument is highlighted when only a long argument (e.g.,
      ‘--verbose’) is specified but no shorthand (e.g., ‘-v’).  In the
      rare case that a shorthand is specified but the key binding does
      not match, then it is highlighted differently.
 
      Highlighting mismatched key bindings is useful when learning the
      arguments of the underlying command-line tool; you wouldn’t want to
      learn any short-hands that do not actually exist.
 
      The highlighting is done using one of the faces
      ‘transient-mismatched-key’ and ‘transient-nonstandard-key’.
 
  -- User Option: transient-substitute-key-function
      This function is used to modify key bindings.  If the value of this
      option is ‘nil’ (the default), then no substitution is performed.
 
      This function is called with one argument, the prefix object, and
      must return a key binding description, either the existing key
      description it finds in the ‘key’ slot, or the key description that
      replaces the prefix key.  It could be used to make other
      substitutions, but that is discouraged.
 
      For example, ‘=’ is hard to reach using my custom keyboard layout,
      so I substitute ‘(’ for that, which is easy to reach using a layout
      optimized for lisp.
 
           (setq transient-substitute-key-function
                 (lambda (obj)
                   (let ((key (oref obj key)))
                     (if (string-match "\\`\\(=\\)[a-zA-Z]" key)
                         (replace-match "(" t t key 1)
                       key))))
 
  -- User Option: transient-read-with-initial-input
      This option controls whether the last history element is used as
      the initial minibuffer input when reading the value of an infix
      argument from the user.  If ‘nil’, there is no initial input and
      the first element has to be accessed the same way as the older
      elements.
 
  -- User Option: transient-hide-during-minibuffer-read
      This option controls whether the transient buffer is hidden while
      user input is being read in the minibuffer.
 
  -- User Option: transient-align-variable-pitch
      This option controls whether columns are aligned pixel-wise in the
      popup buffer.
 
      If this is non-‘nil’, then columns are aligned pixel-wise to
      support variable-pitch fonts.  Keys are not aligned, so you should
      use a fixed-pitch font for the ‘transient-key’ face.  Other key
      faces inherit from that face unless a theme is used that breaks
      that relationship.
 
      This option is intended for users who use a variable-pitch font for
      the ‘default’ face.
 
  -- User Option: transient-force-fixed-pitch
      This option controls whether to force the use of a monospaced font
      in popup buffer.  Even if you use a proportional font for the
      ‘default’ face, you might still want to use a monospaced font in
      transient’s popup buffer.  Setting this option to ‘t’ causes
      ‘default’ to be remapped to ‘fixed-pitch’ in that buffer.
 
 Developer Options
 -----------------
 
 These options are mainly intended for developers.
 
  -- User Option: transient-detect-key-conflicts
      This option controls whether key binding conflicts should be
      detected at the time the transient is invoked.  If so, this results
      in an error, which prevents the transient from being used.  Because
      of that, conflicts are ignored by default.
 
      Conflicts cannot be determined earlier, i.e., when the transient is
      being defined and when new suffixes are being added, because at
      that time there can be false-positives.  It is actually valid for
      multiple suffixes to share a common key binding, provided the
      predicates of those suffixes prevent that more than one of them is
      enabled at a time.
 
  -- User Option: transient-highlight-higher-levels
      This option controls whether suffixes that would not be available
      by default are highlighted.
 
      When non-‘nil’ then the descriptions of suffixes are highlighted if
      their level is above 4, the default of ‘transient-default-level’.
      Assuming you have set that variable to 7, this highlights all
      suffixes that won’t be available to users without them making the
      same customization.

 3 Modifying Existing Transients
 *******************************
 
 To an extent, transients can be customized interactively, see *note
 Enabling and Disabling Suffixes::.  This section explains how existing
 transients can be further modified non-interactively.  Let’s begin with
 an example:
 
      (transient-append-suffix 'magit-patch-apply "-3"
        '("-R" "Apply in reverse" "--reverse"))
 
    This inserts a new infix argument to toggle the ‘--reverse’ argument
 after the infix argument that toggles ‘-3’ in ‘magit-patch-apply’.
 
    The following functions share a few arguments:
 
    • PREFIX is a transient prefix command, a symbol.
 
    • SUFFIX is a transient infix or suffix specification in the same
      form as expected by ‘transient-define-prefix’.  Note that an infix
      is a special kind of suffix.  Depending on context “suffixes” means
      “suffixes (including infixes)” or “non-infix suffixes”.  Here it
      means the former.  See *note Suffix Specifications::.
 
      SUFFIX may also be a group in the same form as expected by
      ‘transient-define-prefix’.  See *note Group Specifications::.
 
    • LOC is a command, a key vector, a key description (a string as
      returned by ‘key-description’), or a list specifying coordinates
      (the last element may also be a command or key).  For example ‘(1 0
      -1)’ identifies the last suffix (‘-1’) of the first subgroup (‘0’)
      of the second group (‘1’).
 
      If LOC is a list of coordinates, then it can be used to identify a
      group, not just an individual suffix command.
 
      The function ‘transient-get-suffix’ can be useful to determine
      whether a certain coordination list identifies the suffix or group
      that you expect it to identify.  In hairy cases it may be necessary
      to look at the definition of the transient prefix command.
 
    These functions operate on the information stored in the
 ‘transient--layout’ property of the PREFIX symbol.  Suffix entries in
 that tree are not objects but have the form ‘(LEVEL CLASS PLIST)’, where
 PLIST should set at least ‘:key’, ‘:description’ and ‘:command’.
 
  -- Function: transient-insert-suffix prefix loc suffix &optional
           keep-other
  -- Function: transient-append-suffix prefix loc suffix &optional
           keep-other
      These functions insert the suffix or group SUFFIX into PREFIX
      before or after LOC.
 
      Conceptually adding a binding to a transient prefix is similar to
      adding a binding to a keymap, but this is complicated by the fact
      that multiple suffix commands can be bound to the same key,
      provided they are never active at the same time, see *note
      Predicate Slots::.
 
      Unfortunately both false-positives and false-negatives are
      possible.  To deal with the former use non-‘nil’ KEEP-OTHER.  To
      deal with the latter remove the conflicting binding explicitly.
 
  -- Function: transient-replace-suffix prefix loc suffix
      This function replaces the suffix or group at LOC in PREFIX with
      suffix or group SUFFIX.
 
  -- Function: transient-remove-suffix prefix loc
      This function removes the suffix or group at LOC in PREFIX.
 
  -- Function: transient-get-suffix prefix loc
      This function returns the suffix or group at LOC in PREFIX.  The
      returned value has the form mentioned above.
 
  -- Function: transient-suffix-put prefix loc prop value
      This function edits the suffix or group at LOC in PREFIX, by
      setting the PROP of its plist to VALUE.
 
    Most of these functions do not signal an error if they cannot perform
 the requested modification.  The functions that insert new suffixes show
 a warning if LOC cannot be found in PREFIX without signaling an error.
 The reason for doing it like this is that establishing a key binding
 (and that is what we essentially are trying to do here) should not
 prevent the rest of the configuration from loading.  Among these
 functions only ‘transient-get-suffix’ and ‘transient-suffix-put’ may
 signal an error.

 4.1 Technical Introduction
 ==========================
 
 Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient
 implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix
 arguments and suffix commands.
 
    When the user calls a transient prefix command, a transient
 (temporary) keymap is activated, which binds the transient’s infix and
 suffix commands, and functions that control the transient state are
 added to ‘pre-command-hook’ and ‘post-command-hook’.  The available
 suffix and infix commands and their state are shown in a popup buffer
 until the transient state is exited by invoking a suffix command.
 
    Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed.  How that is
 done depends on the type of the infix command.  The simplest case is an
 infix command that represents a command-line argument that does not take
 a value.  Invoking such an infix command causes the switch to be toggled
 on or off.  More complex infix commands may read a value from the user,
 using the minibuffer.
 
    Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited;
 the transient keymaps and hook functions are removed, the popup buffer
 no longer shows information about the (no longer bound) suffix commands,
 the values of some public global variables are set, while some internal
 global variables are unset, and finally the command is actually called.
 Suffix commands can also be configured to not exit the transient.
 
    A suffix command can, but does not have to, use the infix arguments
 in much the same way any command can choose to use or ignore the prefix
 arguments.  For a suffix command that was invoked from a transient, the
 variable ‘transient-current-suffixes’ and the function ‘transient-args’
 serve about the same purpose as the variables ‘prefix-arg’ and
 ‘current-prefix-arg’ do for any command that was called after the prefix
 arguments have been set using a command such as ‘universal-argument’.
 
    Transient can be used to implement simple “command dispatchers”.  The
 main benefit then is that the user can see all the available commands in
 a popup buffer, which can be thought of as a “menus”.  That is useful by
 itself because it frees the user from having to remember all the keys
 that are valid after a certain prefix key or command.  Magit’s
 ‘magit-dispatch’ (on ‘C-x M-g’) command is an example of using Transient
 to merely implement a command dispatcher.
 
    In addition to that, Transient also allows users to interactively
 pass arguments to commands.  These arguments can be much more complex
 than what is reasonable when using prefix arguments.  There is a limit
 to how many aspects of a command can be controlled using prefix
 arguments.  Furthermore, what a certain prefix argument means for
 different commands can be completely different, and users have to read
 documentation to learn and then commit to memory what a certain prefix
 argument means to a certain command.
 
    Transient suffix commands, on the other hand, can accept dozens of
 different arguments without the user having to remember anything.  When
 using Transient, one can call a command with arguments that are just as
 complex as when calling the same function non-interactively from Lisp.
 
    Invoking a transient suffix command with arguments is similar to
 invoking a command in a shell with command-line completion and history
 enabled.  One benefit of the Transient interface is that it remembers
 history not only on a global level (“this command was invoked using
 these arguments, and previously it was invoked using those other
 arguments”), but also remembers the values of individual arguments
 independently.  See *note Using History::.
 
    After a transient prefix command is invoked, ‘C-h KEY’ can be used to
 show the documentation for the infix or suffix command that ‘KEY’ is
 bound to (see *note Getting Help for Suffix Commands::), and infixes and
 suffixes can be removed from the transient using ‘C-x l KEY’.  Infixes
 and suffixes that are disabled by default can be enabled the same way.
 See *note Enabling and Disabling Suffixes::.
 
    Transient ships with support for a few different types of specialized
 infix commands.  A command that sets a command line option, for example,
 has different needs than a command that merely toggles a boolean flag.
 Additionally, Transient provides abstractions for defining new types,
 which the author of Transient did not anticipate (or didn’t get around
 to implementing yet).
 
    Note that suffix commands also support regular prefix arguments.  A
 suffix command may even be called with both infix and prefix arguments
 at the same time.  If you invoke a command as a suffix of a transient
 prefix command, but also want to pass prefix arguments to it, then first
 invoke the prefix command, and only after doing that invoke the prefix
 arguments, before finally invoking the suffix command.  If you instead
 began by providing the prefix arguments, then those would apply to the
 prefix command, not the suffix command.  Likewise, if you want to change
 infix arguments before invoking a suffix command with prefix arguments,
 then change the infix arguments before invoking the prefix arguments.
 In other words, regular prefix arguments always apply to the next
 command, and since transient prefix, infix and suffix commands are just
 regular commands, the same applies to them.  (Regular prefix keys behave
 differently because they are not commands at all, instead they are just
 incomplete key sequences, and those cannot be interrupted with prefix
 commands.)

 4.2 Defining Transients
 =======================
 
 A transient consists of a prefix command and at least one suffix
 command, though usually a transient has several infix and suffix
 commands.  The below macro defines the transient prefix command *and*
 binds the transient’s infix and suffix commands.  In other words, it
 defines the complete transient, not just the transient prefix command
 that is used to invoke that transient.
 
  -- Macro: transient-define-prefix name arglist [docstring] [keyword
           value]... group... [body...]
      This macro defines NAME as a transient prefix command and binds the
      transient’s infix and suffix commands.
 
      ARGLIST are the arguments that the prefix command takes.  DOCSTRING
      is the documentation string and is optional.
 
      These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
      Each key has to be a keyword symbol, either ‘:class’ or a keyword
      argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
      ‘transient-prefix’ class is used if the class is not specified
      explicitly.
 
      GROUPs add key bindings for infix and suffix commands and specify
      how these bindings are presented in the popup buffer.  At least one
      GROUP has to be specified.  See *note Binding Suffix and Infix
      Commands::.
 
      The BODY is optional.  If it is omitted, then ARGLIST is ignored
      and the function definition becomes:
 
           (lambda ()
             (interactive)
             (transient-setup 'NAME))
 
      If BODY is specified, then it must begin with an ‘interactive’ form
      that matches ARGLIST, and it must call ‘transient-setup’.  It may,
      however, call that function only when some condition is satisfied.
 
      All transients have a (possibly ‘nil’) value, which is exported
      when suffix commands are called, so that they can consume that
      value.  For some transients it might be necessary to have a sort of
      secondary value, called a “scope”.  Such a scope would usually be
      set in the command’s ‘interactive’ form and has to be passed to the
      setup function:
 
           (transient-setup 'NAME nil nil :scope SCOPE)
 
      For example, the scope of the ‘magit-branch-configure’ transient is
      the branch whose variables are being configured.

 4.3 Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
 =====================================
 
 The macro ‘transient-define-prefix’ is used to define a transient.  This
 defines the actual transient prefix command (see *note Defining
 Transients::) and adds the transient’s infix and suffix bindings, as
 described below.
 
    Users and third-party packages can add additional bindings using
 functions such as ‘transient-insert-suffix’ (see *note Modifying
 Existing Transients::).  These functions take a “suffix specification”
 as one of their arguments, which has the same form as the specifications
 used in ‘transient-define-prefix’.
 
 * Menu:
 
 * Group Specifications::
 * Suffix Specifications::
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Group Specifications,  Next: Suffix Specifications,  Up: Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
 
 4.3.1 Group Specifications
 --------------------------
 
 The suffix and infix commands of a transient are organized in groups.
 The grouping controls how the descriptions of the suffixes are outlined
 visually but also makes it possible to set certain properties for a set
 of suffixes.
 
    Several group classes exist, some of which organize suffixes in
 subgroups.  In most cases the class does not have to be specified
 explicitly, but see *note Group Classes::.
 
    Groups are specified in the call to ‘transient-define-prefix’, using
 vectors.  Because groups are represented using vectors, we cannot use
 square brackets to indicate an optional element and instead use curly
 brackets to do the latter.
 
    Group specifications then have this form:
 
      [{LEVEL} {DESCRIPTION} {KEYWORD VALUE}... ELEMENT...]
 
    The LEVEL is optional and defaults to 4.  See *note Enabling and
 Disabling Suffixes::.
 
    The DESCRIPTION is optional.  If present, it is used as the heading
 of the group.
 
    The KEYWORD-VALUE pairs are optional.  Each keyword has to be a
 keyword symbol, either ‘:class’ or a keyword argument supported by the
 constructor of that class.
 
    • One of these keywords, ‘:description’, is equivalent to specifying
      DESCRIPTION at the very beginning of the vector.  The
      recommendation is to use ‘:description’ if some other keyword is
      also used, for consistency, or DESCRIPTION otherwise, because it
      looks better.
 
    • Likewise ‘:level’ is equivalent to LEVEL.
 
    • Other important keywords include the ‘:if...’ keywords.  These
      keywords control whether the group is available in a certain
      situation.
 
      For example, one group of the ‘magit-rebase’ transient uses ‘:if
      magit-rebase-in-progress-p’, which contains the suffixes that are
      useful while rebase is already in progress; and another that uses
      ‘:if-not magit-rebase-in-progress-p’, which contains the suffixes
      that initiate a rebase.
 
      These predicates can also be used on individual suffixes and are
      only documented once, see *note Predicate Slots::.
 
    • The value of ‘:hide’, if non-‘nil’, is a predicate that controls
      whether the group is hidden by default.  The key bindings for
      suffixes of a hidden group should all use the same prefix key.
      Pressing that prefix key should temporarily show the group and its
      suffixes, which assumes that a predicate like this is used:
 
           (lambda ()
             (eq (car transient--redisplay-key)
                 ?\C-c)) ; the prefix key shared by all bindings
 
    • The value of ‘:setup-children’, if non-‘nil’, is a function that
      takes one argument, a potentially list of children, and must return
      a list of children or an empty list.  This can either be used to
      somehow transform the group’s children that were defined the normal
      way, or to dynamically create the children from scratch.
 
      The returned children must have the same form as stored in the
      prefix’s ‘transient--layout’ property, but it is often more
      convenient to use the same form as understood by
      ‘transient-define-prefix’, described below.  If you use the latter
      approach, you can use the ‘transient-parse-suffixes’ and
      ‘transient-parse-suffix’ functions to transform them from the
      convenient to the expected form.
 
      If you explicitly specify children and then transform them using
      ‘:setup-chilren’, then the class of the group is determined as
      usual, based on explicitly specified children.
 
      If you do not explicitly specify children and thus rely solely on
      ‘:setup-children’, then you must specify the class using ‘:class’.
      For backward compatibility, if you fail to do so,
      ‘transient-column’ is used and a warning is displayed.  This
      warning will eventually be replaced with an error.
 
    • The boolean ‘:pad-keys’ argument controls whether keys of all
      suffixes contained in a group are right padded, effectively
      aligning the descriptions.
 
    The ELEMENTs are either all subgroups, or all suffixes and strings.
 (At least currently no group type exists that would allow mixing
 subgroups with commands at the same level, though in principle there is
 nothing that prevents that.)
 
    If the ELEMENTs are not subgroups, then they can be a mixture of
 lists, which specify commands, and strings.  Strings are inserted
 verbatim into the buffer.  The empty string can be used to insert gaps
 between suffixes, which is particularly useful if the suffixes are
 outlined as a table.
 
    Inside group specifications, including inside contained suffix
 specifications, nothing has to be quoted and quoting anyway is invalid.
 The value following a keyword, can be explicitly unquoted using ‘,’.
 This feature is experimental and should be avoided.
 
    The form of suffix specifications is documented in the next node.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Suffix Specifications,  Prev: Group Specifications,  Up: Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
 
 4.3.2 Suffix Specifications
 ---------------------------
 
 A transient’s suffix and infix commands are bound when the transient
 prefix command is defined using ‘transient-define-prefix’, see *note
 Defining Transients::.  The commands are organized into groups, see
 *note Group Specifications::.  Here we describe the form used to bind an
 individual suffix command.
 
    The same form is also used when later binding additional commands
 using functions such as ‘transient-insert-suffix’, see *note Modifying
 Existing Transients::.
 
    Note that an infix is a special kind of suffix.  Depending on context
 “suffixes” means “suffixes (including infixes)” or “non-infix suffixes”.
 Here it means the former.
 
    Suffix specifications have this form:
 
      ([LEVEL] [KEY [DESCRIPTION]] COMMAND|ARGUMENT [KEYWORD VALUE]...)
 
    LEVEL, KEY and DESCRIPTION can also be specified using the KEYWORDs
 ‘:level’, ‘:key’ and ‘:description’.  If the object that is associated
 with COMMAND sets these properties, then they do not have to be
 specified here.  You can however specify them here anyway, possibly
 overriding the object’s values just for the binding inside this
 transient.
 
    • LEVEL is the suffix level, an integer between 1 and 7.  See *note
      Enabling and Disabling Suffixes::.
 
    • KEY is the key binding, either a vector or key description string.
 
    • DESCRIPTION is the description, either a string or a function that
      takes zero or one arguments (the suffix object) and returns a
      string.  The function should be a lambda expression to avoid
      ambiguity.  In some cases a symbol that is bound as a function
      would also work but to be safe you should use ‘:description’ in
      that case.
 
    The next element is either a command or an argument.  This is the
 only argument that is mandatory in all cases.
 
    • COMMAND should be a symbol that is bound as a function, which has
      to be defined or at least autoloaded as a command by the time the
      containing prefix command is invoked.
 
      Any command will do; it does not need to have an object associated
      with it (as would be the case if ‘transient-define-suffix’ or
      ‘transient-define-infix’ were used to define it).
 
      COMMAND can also be a ‘lambda’ expression.
 
      As mentioned above, the object that is associated with a command
      can be used to set the default for certain values that otherwise
      have to be set in the suffix specification.  Therefore if there is
      no object, then you have to make sure to specify the KEY and the
      DESCRIPTION.
 
      As a special case, if you want to add a command that might be
      neither defined nor autoloaded, you can use a workaround like:
 
           (transient-insert-suffix 'some-prefix "k"
             '("!" "Ceci n'est pas une commande" no-command
               :if (lambda () (featurep 'no-library))))
 
      Instead of ‘featurep’ you could also use ‘require’ with a non-‘nil’
      value for NOERROR.
 
    • The mandatory argument can also be a command-line argument, a
      string.  In that case an anonymous command is defined and bound.
 
      Instead of a string, this can also be a list of two strings, in
      which case the first string is used as the short argument (which
      can also be specified using ‘:shortarg’) and the second as the long
      argument (which can also be specified using ‘:argument’).
 
      Only the long argument is displayed in the popup buffer.  See
      ‘transient-detect-key-conflicts’ for how the short argument may be
      used.
 
      Unless the class is specified explicitly, the appropriate class is
      guessed based on the long argument.  If the argument ends with ‘=’
      (e.g., ‘--format=’) then ‘transient-option’ is used, otherwise
      ‘transient-switch’.
 
    Finally, details can be specified using optional KEYWORD-VALUE pairs.
 Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either ‘:class’ or a keyword
 argument supported by the constructor of that class.  See *note Suffix
 Slots::.

           value]... body...
      This macro defines NAME as a transient suffix command.
 
      ARGLIST are the arguments that the command takes.  DOCSTRING is the
      documentation string and is optional.
 
      These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
      Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either ‘:class’ or a
      keyword argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
      ‘transient-suffix’ class is used if the class is not specified
      explicitly.
 
      The BODY must begin with an ‘interactive’ form that matches
      ARGLIST.  The infix arguments are usually accessed by using
      ‘transient-args’ inside ‘interactive’.
 
  -- Macro: transient-define-infix name arglist [docstring] [keyword
           value]...
      This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
 
      ARGLIST is always ignored (but mandatory never-the-less) and
      reserved for future use.  DOCSTRING is the documentation string and
      is optional.
 
      At least one key-value pair is required.  All transient infix
      commands are ‘equal’ to each other (but not ‘eq’).  It is
      meaningless to define an infix command, without providing at least
      one keyword argument (usually ‘:argument’ or ‘:variable’, depending
      on the class).  The suffix class defaults to ‘transient-switch’ and
      can be set using the ‘:class’ keyword.
 
      The function definition is always:
 
           (lambda ()
             (interactive)
             (let ((obj (transient-suffix-object)))
               (transient-infix-set obj (transient-infix-read obj)))
             (transient--show))
 
      ‘transient-infix-read’ and ‘transient-infix-set’ are generic
      functions.  Different infix commands behave differently because the
      concrete methods are different for different infix command classes.
      In rare cases the above command function might not be suitable,
      even if you define your own infix command class.  In that case you
      have to use ‘transient-define-suffix’ to define the infix command
      and use ‘t’ as the value of the ‘:transient’ keyword.
 
  -- Macro: transient-define-argument name arglist [docstring] [keyword
           value]...
      This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
 
      This is an alias for ‘transient-define-infix’.  Only use this alias
      to define an infix command that actually sets an infix argument.
      To define an infix command that, for example, sets a variable, use
      ‘transient-define-infix’ instead.

 4.5 Using Infix Arguments
 =========================
 
 The functions and the variables described below allow suffix commands to
 access the value of the transient from which they were invoked; which is
 the value of its infix arguments.  These variables are set when the user
 invokes a suffix command that exits the transient, but before actually
 calling the command.
 
    When returning to the command-loop after calling the suffix command,
 the arguments are reset to ‘nil’ (which causes the function to return
 ‘nil’ too).
 
    Like for Emacs’ prefix arguments, it is advisable, but not mandatory,
 to access the infix arguments inside the command’s ‘interactive’ form.
 The preferred way of doing that is to call the ‘transient-args’
 function, which for infix arguments serves about the same purpose as
 ‘prefix-arg’ serves for prefix arguments.
 
  -- Function: transient-args prefix
      This function returns the value of the transient prefix command
      PREFIX.
 
      If the current command was invoked from the transient prefix
      command PREFIX, then it returns the active infix arguments.  If the
      current command was not invoked from PREFIX, then it returns the
      set, saved or default value for PREFIX.
 
  -- Function: transient-arg-value arg args
      This function return the value of ARG as it appears in ARGS.
 
      For a switch a boolean is returned.  For an option the value is
      returned as a string, using the empty string for the empty value,
      or ‘nil’ if the option does not appear in ARGS.
 
  -- Function: transient-suffixes prefix
      This function returns the suffixes of the transient prefix command
      PREFIX.  This is a list of objects.  This function should only be
      used if you need the objects (as opposed to just their values) and
      if the current command is not being invoked from PREFIX.
 
  -- Variable: transient-current-suffixes
      The suffixes of the transient from which this suffix command was
      invoked.  This is a list of objects.  Usually it is sufficient to
      instead use the function ‘transient-args’, which returns a list of
      values.  In complex cases it might be necessary to use this
      variable instead, i.e., if you need access to information beside
      the value.
 
  -- Variable: transient-current-prefix
      The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
      returned value is a ‘transient-prefix’ object, which holds
      information associated with the transient prefix command.
 
  -- Variable: transient-current-command
      The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
      returned value is a symbol, the transient prefix command.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Transient State,  Prev: Using Infix Arguments,  Up: Defining New Commands
 
 4.6 Transient State
 ===================
 
 Invoking a transient prefix command “activates” the respective
 transient, i.e., it puts a transient keymap into effect, which binds the
 transient’s infix and suffix commands.
 
    The default behavior while a transient is active is as follows:
 
    • Invoking an infix command does not affect the transient state; the
      transient remains active.
 
    • Invoking a (non-infix) suffix command “deactivates” the transient
      state by removing the transient keymap and performing some
      additional cleanup.
 
    • Invoking a command that is bound in a keymap other than the
      transient keymap is disallowed and trying to do so results in a
      warning.  This does not “deactivate” the transient.
 
    The behavior can be changed for all suffixes of a particular prefix
 and/or for individual suffixes.  The values should nearly always be
 booleans, but certain functions, called “pre-commands”, can also be
 used.  These functions are named ‘transient--do-VERB’, and the symbol
 ‘VERB’ can be used as a shorthand.
 
    A boolean is interpreted as answering the question "does the
 transient stay active, when this command is invoked?"  ‘t’ means that
 the transient stays active, while ‘nil’ means that invoking the command
 exits the transient.
 
    Note that when the suffix is a “sub-prefix”, invoking that command
 always activates that sub-prefix, causing the outer prefix to no longer
 be active and displayed.  Here ‘t’ means that when you exit the inner
 prefix, then the outer prefix becomes active again, while ‘nil’ means
 that all outer prefixes are exited at once.
 
    • The behavior for non-suffixes can be set for a particular prefix,
      by the prefix’s ‘transient-non-suffix’ slot to a boolean, a
      suitable pre-command function, or a shorthand for such a function.
      See *note Pre-commands for Non-Suffixes::.
 
    • The common behavior for the suffixes of a particular prefix can be
      set using the prefix’s ‘transient-suffixes’ slot.
 
      The value specified in this slot does *not* affect infixes.
      Because it affects both regular suffixes as well as sub-prefixes,
      which have different needs, it is best to avoid explicitly
      specifying a function.
 
    • The behavior of an individual suffix can be changed using its
      ‘transient’ slot.  While it is usually best to use a boolean, for
      this slot it can occasionally make sense to specify a function
      explicitly.
 
      Note that this slot can be set when defining a suffix command using
      ‘transient-define-suffix’ and/or in the definition of the prefix.
      If set in both places, then the latter takes precedence, as usual.
 
    The available pre-command functions are documented in the following
 sub-sections.  They are called by ‘transient--pre-command’, a function
 on ‘pre-command-hook’, and the value that they return determines whether
 the transient is exited.  To do so the value of one of the constants
 ‘transient--exit’ or ‘transient--stay’ is used (that way we don’t have
 to remember if ‘t’ means “exit” or “stay”).
 
    Additionally, these functions may change the value of ‘this-command’
 (which explains why they have to be called using ‘pre-command-hook’),
 call ‘transient-export’, ‘transient--stack-zap’ or
 ‘transient--stack-push’; and set the values of ‘transient--exitp’,
 ‘transient--helpp’ or ‘transient--editp’.
 
    For completeness sake, some notes about complications:
 
    • The transient-ness of certain built-in suffix commands is specified
      using ‘transient-predicate-map’.  This is a special keymap, which
      binds commands to pre-commands (as opposed to keys to commands) and
      takes precedence over the prefix’s ‘transient-suffix’ slot, but not
      the suffix’s ‘transient’ slot.
 
    • While a sub-prefix is active we nearly always want ‘C-g’ to take
      the user back to the “super-prefix”, even when the other suffixes
      don’t do that.  However, in rare cases this may not be desirable,
      and that makes the following complication necessary:
 
      For ‘transient-suffix’ objects the ‘transient’ slot is unbound.  We
      can ignore that for the most part because ‘nil’ and the slot being
      unbound are treated as equivalent, and mean “do exit”.  That isn’t
      actually true for suffixes that are sub-prefixes though.  For such
      suffixes unbound means “do exit but allow going back”, which is the
      default, while ‘nil’ means “do exit permanently”, which requires
      that slot to be explicitly set to that value.
 
 Pre-commands for Infixes
 ------------------------
 
 The default for infixes is ‘transient--do-stay’.  This is also the only
 function that makes sense for infixes, which is why this predicate is
 used even if the value of the prefix’s ‘transient-suffix’ slot is ‘t’.
 In extremely rare cases, one might want to use something else, which can
 be done by setting the infix’s ‘transient’ slot directly.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-stay
      Call the command without exporting variables and stay transient.
 
 Pre-commands for Suffixes
 -------------------------
 
 By default, invoking a suffix causes the transient to be exited.
 
    The behavior for an individual suffix command can be changed by
 setting its ‘transient’ slot to a boolean (which is highly recommended),
 or to one of the following pre-commands.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-exit
      Call the command after exporting variables and exit the transient.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-return
      Call the command after exporting variables and return to the parent
      prefix.  If there is no parent prefix, then call
      ‘transient--do-exit’.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-call
      Call the command after exporting variables and stay transient.
 
    The following pre-commands are only suitable for sub-prefixes.  It is
 not necessary to explicitly use these predicates because the correct
 predicate is automatically picked based on the value of the ‘transient’
 slot for the sub-prefix itself.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-recurse
      Call the transient prefix command, preparing for return to active
      transient.
 
      Whether we actually return to the parent transient is ultimately
      under the control of each invoked suffix.  The difference between
      this pre-command and ‘transient--do-stack’ is that it changes the
      value of the ‘transient-suffix’ slot to ‘t’.
 
      If there is no parent transient, then only call this command and
      skip the second step.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-stack
      Call the transient prefix command, stacking the active transient.
      Push the active transient to the transient stack.
 
      Unless ‘transient--do-recurse’ is explicitly used, this pre-command
      is automatically used for suffixes that are prefixes themselves,
      i.e., for sub-prefixes.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-replace
      Call the transient prefix command, replacing the active transient.
      Do not push the active transient to the transient stack.
 
      Unless ‘transient--do-recurse’ is explicitly used, this pre-command
      is automatically used for suffixes that are prefixes themselves,
      i.e., for sub-prefixes.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-suspend
      Suspend the active transient, saving the transient stack.
 
      This is used by the command ‘transient-suspend’ and optionally also
      by “external events” such as ‘handle-switch-frame’.  Such bindings
      should be added to ‘transient-predicate-map’.
 
 Pre-commands for Non-Suffixes
 -----------------------------
 
 By default, non-suffixes (commands that are bound in other keymaps
 beside the transient keymap) cannot be invoked.  Trying to invoke such a
 command results in a warning and the transient stays active.
 
    If you want a different behavior, then set the ‘transient-non-suffix’
 slot of the transient prefix command.  The value should be a boolean,
 answering the question, "is it allowed to invoke non-suffix commands?, a
 pre-command function, or a shorthand for such a function.
 
    If the value is ‘t’, then non-suffixes can be invoked, when it is
 ‘nil’ (the default) then they cannot be invoked.
 
    The only other recommended value is ‘leave’.  If that is used, then
 non-suffixes can be invoked, but if one is invoked, then that exits the
 transient.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-warn
      Call ‘transient-undefined’ and stay transient.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-stay
      Call the command without exporting variables and stay transient.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-leave
      Call the command without exporting variables and exit the
      transient.
 
 Special Pre-Commands
 --------------------
 
  -- Function: transient--do-quit-one
      If active, quit help or edit mode, else exit the active transient.
 
      This is used when the user pressed ‘C-g’.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-quit-all
      Exit all transients without saving the transient stack.
 
      This is used when the user pressed ‘C-q’.
 
  -- Function: transient--do-suspend
      Suspend the active transient, saving the transient stack.
 
      This is used when the user pressed ‘C-z’.

 5 Classes and Methods
 *********************
 
 Transient uses classes and generic functions to make it possible to
 define new types of suffix commands that are similar to existing types,
 but behave differently in some aspects.  It does the same for groups and
 prefix commands, though at least for prefix commands that *currently*
 appears to be less important.
 
    Every prefix, infix and suffix command is associated with an object,
 which holds information that controls certain aspects of its behavior.
 This happens in two ways.
 
    • Associating a command with a certain class gives the command a
      type.  This makes it possible to use generic functions to do
      certain things that have to be done differently depending on what
      type of command it acts on.
 
      That in turn makes it possible for third-parties to add new types
      without having to convince the maintainer of Transient that that
      new type is important enough to justify adding a special case to a
      dozen or so functions.
 
    • Associating a command with an object makes it possible to easily
      store information that is specific to that particular command.
 
      Two commands may have the same type, but obviously their key
      bindings and descriptions still have to be different, for example.
 
      The values of some slots are functions.  The ‘reader’ slot for
      example holds a function that is used to read a new value for an
      infix command.  The values of such slots are regular functions.
 
      Generic functions are used when a function should do something
      different based on the type of the command, i.e., when all commands
      of a certain type should behave the same way but different from the
      behavior for other types.  Object slots that hold a regular
      function as value are used when the task that they perform is
      likely to differ even between different commands of the same type.

 5.1 Group Classes
 =================
 
 The type of a group can be specified using the ‘:class’ property at the
 beginning of the class specification, e.g., ‘[:class transient-columns
 ...]’ in a call to ‘transient-define-prefix’.
 
    • The abstract ‘transient-child’ class is the base class of both
      ‘transient-group’ (and therefore all groups) as well as of
      ‘transient-suffix’ (and therefore all suffix and infix commands).
 
      This class exists because the elements (or “children”) of certain
      groups can be other groups instead of suffix and infix commands.
 
    • The abstract ‘transient-group’ class is the superclass of all other
      group classes.
 
    • The ‘transient-column’ class is the simplest group.
 
      This is the default “flat” group.  If the class is not specified
      explicitly and the first element is not a vector (i.e., not a
      group), then this class is used.
 
      This class displays each element on a separate line.
 
    • The ‘transient-row’ class displays all elements on a single line.
 
    • The ‘transient-columns’ class displays commands organized in
      columns.
 
      Direct elements have to be groups whose elements have to be
      commands or strings.  Each subgroup represents a column.  This
      class takes care of inserting the subgroups’ elements.
 
      This is the default “nested” group.  If the class is not specified
      explicitly and the first element is a vector (i.e., a group), then
      this class is used.
 
    • The ‘transient-subgroups’ class wraps other groups.
 
      Direct elements have to be groups whose elements have to be
      commands or strings.  This group inserts an empty line between
      subgroups.  The subgroups themselves are responsible for displaying
      their elements.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Group Methods,  Next: Prefix Classes,  Prev: Group Classes,  Up: Classes and Methods
 
 5.2 Group Methods
 =================
 
  -- Function: transient-setup-children group children
      This generic function can be used to setup the children or a group.
 
      The default implementation usually just returns the children
      unchanged, but if the ‘setup-children’ slot of GROUP is non-‘nil’,
      then it calls that function with CHILDREN as the only argument and
      returns the value.
 
      The children are given as a (potentially empty) list consisting of
      either group or suffix specifications.  These functions can make
      arbitrary changes to the children including constructing new
      children from scratch.
 
  -- Function: transient--insert-group group
      This generic function formats the group and its elements and
      inserts the result into the current buffer, which is a temporary
      buffer.  The contents of that buffer are later inserted into the
      popup buffer.
 
      Functions that are called by this function may need to operate in
      the buffer from which the transient was called.  To do so they can
      temporarily make the ‘transient--source-buffer’ the current buffer.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Prefix Classes,  Next: Suffix Classes,  Prev: Group Methods,  Up: Classes and Methods
 
 5.3 Prefix Classes
 ==================
 
 Currently the ‘transient-prefix’ class is being used for all prefix
 commands and there is only a single generic function that can be
 specialized based on the class of a prefix command.
 
  -- Function: transient--history-init obj
      This generic function is called while setting up the transient and
      is responsible for initializing the ‘history’ slot.  This is the
      transient-wide history; many individual infixes also have a history
      of their own.
 
      The default (and currently only) method extracts the value from the
      global variable ‘transient-history’.
 
    A transient prefix command’s object is stored in the
 ‘transient--prefix’ property of the command symbol.  While a transient
 is active, a clone of that object is stored in the variable
 ‘transient--prefix’.  A clone is used because some changes that are made
 to the active transient’s object should not affect later invocations.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Suffix Classes,  Next: Suffix Methods,  Prev: Prefix Classes,  Up: Classes and Methods
 
 5.4 Suffix Classes
 ==================
 
    • All suffix and infix classes derive from ‘transient-suffix’, which
      in turn derives from ‘transient-child’, from which
      ‘transient-group’ also derives (see *note Group Classes::).
 
    • All infix classes derive from the abstract ‘transient-infix’ class,
      which in turn derives from the ‘transient-suffix’ class.
 
      Infixes are a special type of suffixes.  The primary difference is
      that infixes always use the ‘transient--do-stay’ pre-command, while
      non-infix suffixes use a variety of pre-commands (see *note
      Transient State::).  Doing that is most easily achieved by using
      this class, though theoretically it would be possible to define an
      infix class that does not do so.  If you do that then you get to
      implement many methods.
 
      Also, infixes and non-infix suffixes are usually defined using
      different macros (see *note Defining Suffix and Infix Commands::).
 
    • Classes used for infix commands that represent arguments should be
      derived from the abstract ‘transient-argument’ class.
 
    • The ‘transient-switch’ class (or a derived class) is used for infix
      arguments that represent command-line switches (arguments that do
      not take a value).
 
    • The ‘transient-option’ class (or a derived class) is used for infix
      arguments that represent command-line options (arguments that do
      take a value).
 
    • The ‘transient-switches’ class can be used for a set of mutually
      exclusive command-line switches.
 
    • The ‘transient-files’ class can be used for a ‘--’ argument that
      indicates that all remaining arguments are files.
 
    • Classes used for infix commands that represent variables should
      derived from the abstract ‘transient-variable’ class.
 
    • The ‘transient-information’ class is special in that suffixes that
      use this class are not associated with a command and thus also not
      with any key binding.  Such suffixes are only used to display
      arbitrary information, and that anywhere a suffix can appear.
      Display-only suffix specifications take this form:
 
           ([LEVEL] :info DESCRIPTION [KEYWORD VALUE]...)
 
      The ‘:info’ keyword argument replaces the ‘:description’ keyword
      used for other suffix classes.  Other keyword arguments that you
      might want to set, include ‘:face’, predicate keywords (such as
      ‘:if’), and ‘:format’.  By default the value of ‘:format’ includes
      ‘%k’, which for this class is replaced with the empty string or
      spaces, if keys are being padded in the containing group.
 
    Magit defines additional classes, which can serve as examples for the
 fancy things you can do without modifying Transient.  Some of these
 classes will likely get generalized and added to Transient.  For now
 they are very much subject to change and not documented.

 File: transient.info,  Node: Suffix Value Methods,  Next: Suffix Format Methods,  Up: Suffix Methods
 
 5.5.1 Suffix Value Methods
 --------------------------
 
  -- Function: transient-init-value obj
      This generic function sets the initial value of the object OBJ.
 
      This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
      concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
      implementation, which is a noop.  In other words this usually only
      does something for infix commands, but note that this is not
      implemented for the abstract class ‘transient-infix’, so if your
      class derives from that directly, then you must implement a method.
 
  -- Function: transient-infix-read obj
      This generic function determines the new value of the infix object
      OBJ.
 
      This function merely determines the value; ‘transient-infix-set’ is
      used to actually store the new value in the object.
 
      For most infix classes this is done by reading a value from the
      user using the reader specified by the ‘reader’ slot (using the
      ‘transient-infix-value’ method described below).
 
      For some infix classes the value is changed without reading
      anything in the minibuffer, i.e., the mere act of invoking the
      infix command determines what the new value should be, based on the
      previous value.
 
  -- Function: transient-prompt obj
      This generic function returns the prompt to be used to read infix
      object OBJ’s value.
 
  -- Function: transient-infix-set obj value
      This generic function sets the value of infix object OBJ to VALUE.
 
  -- Function: transient-infix-value obj
      This generic function returns the value of the suffix object OBJ.
 
      This function is called by ‘transient-args’ (which see), meaning
      this function is how the value of a transient is determined so that
      the invoked suffix command can use it.
 
      Currently most values are strings, but that is not set in stone.
      ‘nil’ is not a value, it means “no value”.
 
      Usually only infixes have a value, but see the method for
      ‘transient-suffix’.
 
  -- Function: transient-init-scope obj
      This generic function sets the scope of the suffix object OBJ.
 
      The scope is actually a property of the transient prefix, not of
      individual suffixes.  However it is possible to invoke a suffix
      command directly instead of from a transient.  In that case, if the
      suffix expects a scope, then it has to determine that itself and
      store it in its ‘scope’ slot.
 
      This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
      concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
      implementation, which is a noop.

 5.5.2 Suffix Format Methods
 ---------------------------
 
  -- Function: transient-format obj
      This generic function formats and returns OBJ for display.
 
      When this function is called, then the current buffer is some
      temporary buffer.  If you need the buffer from which the prefix
      command was invoked to be current, then do so by temporarily making
      ‘transient--source-buffer’ current.
 
  -- Function: transient-format-key obj
      This generic function formats OBJ’s ‘key’ for display and returns
      the result.
 
  -- Function: transient-format-description obj
      This generic function formats OBJ’s ‘description’ for display and
      returns the result.
 
  -- Function: transient-format-value obj
      This generic function formats OBJ’s value for display and returns
      the result.
 
  -- Function: transient-show-help obj
      Show help for the prefix, infix or suffix command represented by
      OBJ.
 
      For prefixes, show the info manual, if that is specified using the
      ‘info-manual’ slot.  Otherwise, show the manpage if that is
      specified using the ‘man-page’ slot.  Otherwise, show the command’s
      documentation string.
 
      For suffixes, show the command’s documentation string.
 
      For infixes, show the manpage if that is specified.  Otherwise show
      the command’s documentation string.

 5.6 Prefix Slots
 ================
 
    • ‘show-help’, ‘man-page’ or ‘info-manual’ can be used to specify the
      documentation for the prefix and its suffixes.  The command
      ‘transient-help’ uses the method ‘transient-show-help’ (which see)
      to lookup and use these values.
 
    • ‘history-key’ If multiple prefix commands should share a single
      value, then this slot has to be set to the same value for all of
      them.  You probably don’t want that.
 
    • ‘transient-suffix’ and ‘transient-non-suffix’ play a part when
      determining whether the currently active transient prefix command
      remains active/transient when a suffix or arbitrary non-suffix
      command is invoked.  See *note Transient State::.
 
    • ‘refresh-suffixes’ Normally suffix objects and keymaps are only
      setup once, when the prefix is invoked.  Setting this to ‘t’,
      causes them to be recreated after every command.  This is useful
      when using ‘:if...’ predicates, and those need to be rerun for some
      reason.  Doing this is somewhat costly, and there is a risk of
      losing state, so this is disabled by default and still considered
      experimental.
 
    • ‘incompatible’ A list of lists.  Each sub-list specifies a set of
      mutually exclusive arguments.  Enabling one of these arguments
      causes the others to be disabled.  An argument may appear in
      multiple sub-lists.  Arguments must me given in the same form as
      used in the ‘argument’ or ‘argument-format’ slot of the respective
      suffix objects, usually something like ‘--switch’ or ‘--option=%s’.
      For options and ‘transient-switches’ suffixes it is also possible
      to match against a specific value, as returned by
      ‘transient-infix-value’, for example, ‘--option=one’.
 
    • ‘scope’ For some transients it might be necessary to have a sort of
      secondary value, called a “scope”.  See ‘transient-define-prefix’.
 
 Internal Prefix Slots
 ---------------------
 
 These slots are mostly intended for internal use.  They should not be
 set in calls to ‘transient-define-prefix’.
 
    • ‘prototype’ When a transient prefix command is invoked, then a
      clone of that object is stored in the global variable
      ‘transient--prefix’ and the prototype is stored in the clone’s
      ‘prototype’ slot.
 
    • ‘command’ The command, a symbol.  Each transient prefix command
      consists of a command, which is stored in a symbol’s function slot
      and an object, which is stored in the ‘transient--prefix’ property
      of the same symbol.
 
    • ‘level’ The level of the prefix commands.  The suffix commands
      whose layer is equal or lower are displayed.  See *note Enabling
      and Disabling Suffixes::.
 
    • ‘value’ The likely outdated value of the prefix.  Instead of
      accessing this slot directly you should use the function
      ‘transient-get-value’, which is guaranteed to return the up-to-date
      value.
 
    • ‘history’ and ‘history-pos’ are used to keep track of historic
      values.  Unless you implement your own ‘transient-infix-read’
      method you should not have to deal with these slots.

 5.7 Suffix Slots
 ================
 
 Here we document most of the slots that are only available for suffix
 objects.  Some slots are shared by suffix and group objects, they are
 documented in *note Predicate Slots::.
 
    Also see *note Suffix Classes::.
 
 Slots of ‘transient-suffix’
 ---------------------------
 
    • ‘key’ The key, a key vector or a key description string.
 
    • ‘command’ The command, a symbol.
 
    • ‘transient’ Whether to stay transient.  See *note Transient
      State::.
 
    • ‘format’ The format used to display the suffix in the popup buffer.
      It must contain the following %-placeholders:
 
         • ‘%k’ For the key.
         • ‘%d’ For the description.
         • ‘%v’ For the infix value.  Non-infix suffixes don’t have a
           value.
 
    • ‘description’ The description, either a string or a function, which
      is called with zero or one argument (the suffix object), and
      returns a string.
 
    • ‘face’ Face used for the description.  In simple cases it is easier
      to use this instead of using a function as ‘description’ and adding
      the styling there.  ‘face’ is appended using
      ‘add-face-text-property’.
 
    • ‘show-help’ A function used to display help for the suffix.  If
      unspecified, the prefix controls how help is displayed for its
      suffixes.
 
 Slots of ‘transient-infix’
 --------------------------
 
 Some of these slots are only meaningful for some of the subclasses.
 They are defined here anyway to allow sharing certain methods.
 
    • ‘argument’ The long argument, e.g., ‘--verbose’.
 
    • ‘shortarg’ The short argument, e.g., ‘-v’.
 
    • ‘value’ The value.  Should not be accessed directly.
 
    • ‘init-value’ Function that is responsible for setting the object’s
      value.  If bound, then this is called with the object as the only
      argument.  Usually this is not bound, in which case the object’s
      primary ‘transient-init-value’ method is called instead.
 
    • ‘unsavable’ Whether the value of the suffix is not saved as part of
      the prefixes.
 
    • ‘multi-value’ For options, whether the option can have multiple
      values.  If this is non-‘nil’, then the values are read using
      ‘completing-read-multiple’ by default and if you specify your own
      reader, then it should read the values using that function or
      similar.
 
      Supported non-‘nil’ values are:
 
         • Use ‘rest’ for an option that can have multiple values.  This
           is useful e.g., for an ‘--’ argument that indicates that all
           remaining arguments are files (such as ‘git log -- file1
           file2’).
 
           In the list returned by ‘transient-args’ such an option and
           its values are represented by a single list of the form
           ‘(ARGUMENT . VALUES)’.
 
         • Use ‘repeat’ for an option that can be specified multiple
           times.
 
           In the list returned by ‘transient-args’ each instance of the
           option and its value appears separately in the usual from, for
           example: ‘("--another-argument" "--option=first"
           "--option=second")’.
 
      In both cases the option’s values have to be specified in the
      default value of a prefix using the same format as returned by
      ‘transient-args’, e.g., ‘("--other" "--o=1" "--o=2" ("--" "f1"
      "f2"))’.
 
    • ‘always-read’ For options, whether to read a value on every
      invocation.  If this is ‘nil’, then options that have a value are
      simply unset and have to be invoked a second time to set a new
      value.
 
    • ‘allow-empty’ For options, whether the empty string is a valid
      value.
 
    • ‘history-key’ The key used to store the history.  This defaults to
      the command name.  This is useful when multiple infixes should
      share the same history because their values are of the same kind.
 
    • ‘reader’ The function used to read the value of an infix.  Not used
      for switches.  The function takes three arguments, PROMPT,
      INITIAL-INPUT and HISTORY, and must return a string.
 
    • ‘prompt’ The prompt used when reading the value, either a string or
      a function that takes the object as the only argument and which
      returns a prompt string.
 
    • ‘choices’ A list of valid values, or a function that returns such a
      list.  The latter is not implemented for ‘transient-switches’,
      because I couldn’t think of a use-case.  How exactly the choices
      are used varies depending on the class of the suffix.
 
 Slots of ‘transient-variable’
 -----------------------------
 
    • ‘variable’ The variable.
 
 Slots of ‘transient-switches’
 -----------------------------
 
    • ‘argument-format’ The display format.  Must contain ‘%s’, one of
      the ‘choices’ is substituted for that.  E.g., ‘--%s-order’.
 
    • ‘argument-regexp’ The regexp used to match any one of the switches.
      E.g., ‘\\(--\\(topo\\|author-date\\|date\\)-order\\)’.
 
 
 File: transient.info,  Node: Predicate Slots,  Prev: Suffix Slots,  Up: Classes and Methods
 
 5.8 Predicate Slots
 ===================
 
 Suffix and group objects share some predicate slots that control whether
 a group or suffix should be available depending on some state.  Only one
 of these slots can be used at the same time.  It is undefined what
 happens if you use more than one.
 
    • ‘if’ Enable if predicate returns non-‘nil’.
    • ‘if-not’ Enable if predicate returns ‘nil’.
    • ‘if-non-nil’ Enable if variable’s value is non-‘nil’.
    • ‘if-nil’ Enable if variable’s value is ‘nil’.
    • ‘if-mode’ Enable if major-mode matches value.
    • ‘if-not-mode’ Enable if major-mode does not match value.
    • ‘if-derived’ Enable if major-mode derives from value.
    • ‘if-not-derived’ Enable if major-mode does not derive from value.
 
    By default these predicates run when the prefix command is invoked,
 but this can be changes, using the ‘refresh-suffixes’ prefix slot.  See
 *note Prefix Slots::.
 
    One more slot is shared between group and suffix classes, ‘level’.
 Like the slots documented above, it is a predicate, but it is used for a
 different purpose.  The value has to be an integer between 1 and 7.
 ‘level’ controls whether a suffix or a group should be available
 depending on user preference.  See *note Enabling and Disabling
 Suffixes::.

 Appendix A FAQ
 **************
 
 A.1 Can I control how the popup buffer is displayed?
 ====================================================
 
 Yes, see ‘transient-display-buffer-action’ in *note Configuration::.
 
 A.2 How can I copy text from the popup buffer?
 ==============================================
 
 To be able to mark text in Transient’s popup buffer using the mouse, you
 have to add the below binding.  Note that for technical reasons, the
 region won’t be visualized, while doing so.  After you have quit the
 transient popup, you will be able to yank it in another buffer.
 
      (keymap-set transient-predicate-map
                  "<mouse-set-region>"
                  #'transient--do-stay)
 
 A.3 How can I autoload prefix and suffix commands?
 ==================================================
 
 If your package only supports Emacs 30, just prefix the definition with
 ‘;;;###autoload’.  If your package supports released versions of Emacs,
 you unfortunately have to use a long form autoload comment as described
 in *note (elisp)Autoload::.
 
      ;;;###autoload (autoload 'magit-dispatch "magit" nil t)
      (transient-define-prefix magit-dispatch ()
        ...)
 
 A.4 How does Transient compare to prefix keys and universal arguments?
 ======================================================================
 
 See
 <https://github.com/magit/transient/wiki/Comparison-with-prefix-keys-and-universal-arguments>.
 
 A.5 How does Transient compare to Magit-Popup and Hydra?
 ========================================================
 
 See
 <https://github.com/magit/transient/wiki/Comparison-with-other-packages>.
 
 A.6 Why did some of the key bindings change?
 ============================================
 
 You may have noticed that the bindings for some of the common commands
 do *not* have the prefix ‘C-x’ and that furthermore some of these
 commands are grayed out while others are not.  That unfortunately is a
 bit confusing if the section of common commands is not shown
 permanently, making the following explanation necessary.
 
    The purpose of usually hiding that section but showing it after the
 user pressed the respective prefix key is to conserve space and not
 overwhelm users with too much noise, while allowing the user to quickly
 list common bindings on demand.
 
    That however should not keep us from using the best possible key
 bindings.  The bindings that do use a prefix do so to avoid wasting too
 many non-prefix bindings, keeping them available for use in individual
 transients.  The bindings that do not use a prefix and that are *not*
 grayed out are very important bindings that are *always* available, even
 when invoking the “common command key prefix” or *any other*
 transient-specific prefix.  The non-prefix keys that *are* grayed out
 however, are not available when any incomplete prefix key sequence is
 active.  They do not use the “common command key prefix” because it is
 likely that users want to invoke them several times in a row and e.g.,
 ‘M-p M-p M-p’ is much more convenient than ‘C-x M-p C-x M-p C-x M-p’.
 
    You may also have noticed that the “Set” command is bound to ‘C-x s’,
 while Magit-Popup used to bind ‘C-c C-c’ instead.  I have seen several
 users praise the latter binding (sic), so I did not change it
 willy-nilly.  The reason that I changed it is that using different
 prefix keys for different common commands, would have made the temporary
 display of the common commands even more confusing, i.e., after pressing
 ‘C-c’ all the bindings that begin with the ‘C-x’ prefix would be grayed
 out.
 
    Using a single prefix for common commands key means that all other
 potential prefix keys can be used for transient-specific commands
 *without* the section of common commands also popping up.  ‘C-c’ in
 particular is a prefix that I want to (and already do) use for Magit,
 and also using that for a common command would prevent me from doing so.
 
    (Also see the next question.)
 
 A.7 Why does ‘q’ not quit popups anymore?
 =========================================
 
 I agree that ‘q’ is a good binding for commands that quit something.
 This includes quitting whatever transient is currently active, but it
 also includes quitting whatever it is that some specific transient is
 controlling.  The transient ‘magit-blame’ for example binds ‘q’ to the
 command that turns ‘magit-blame-mode’ off.
 
    So I had to decide if ‘q’ should quit the active transient (like
 Magit-Popup used to) or whether ‘C-g’ should do that instead, so that
 ‘q’ could be bound in individual transient to whatever commands make
 sense for them.  Because all other letters are already reserved for use
 by individual transients, I have decided to no longer make an exception
 for ‘q’.
 
    If you want to get ‘q’’s old binding back then you can do so.  Doing
 that is a bit more complicated than changing a single key binding, so I
 have implemented a function, ‘transient-bind-q-to-quit’ that makes the
 necessary changes.  See its documentation string for more information.

                         Version 3, 29 June 2007
 
      Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
 
      Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
      license document, but changing it is not allowed.
 
 Preamble
 ========
 
 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
 and other kinds of works.
 
    The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
 to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
 share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it remains free
 software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
 any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
 your programs, too.
 
    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
 
    To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
 
    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
 freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
 or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
 know their rights.
 
    Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
 
    For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains
 that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users’ and
 authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
 authors of previous versions.
 
    Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
 can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
 protecting users’ freedom to change the software.  The systematic
 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
 products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
 
    Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
 make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
 
    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 modification follow.
 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 ====================
 
   0. Definitions.
 
      “This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public
      License.
 
      “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
      kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
 
      “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
      License.  Each licensee is addressed as “you”.  “Licensees” and
      “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
 
      To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
      work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
      making of an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a “modified
      version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
 
      A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work
      based on the Program.
 
      To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
      permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
      infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on
      a computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes
      copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
      available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
      well.
 
      To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
      parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user
      through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
      conveying.
 
      An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices”
      to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
      feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
      tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to
      the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey
      the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
      License.  If the interface presents a list of user commands or
      options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this
      criterion.
 
   1. Source Code.
 
      The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work
      for making modifications to it.  “Object code” means any non-source
      form of a work.
 
      A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an
      official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in
      the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
      language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
      language.
 
      The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything,
      other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal
      form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that
      Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with
      that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for
      which an implementation is available to the public in source code
      form.  A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major
      essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
      specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
      runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
      interpreter used to run it.
 
      The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all
      the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
      work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts
      to control those activities.  However, it does not include the
      work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally
      available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
      those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example,
      Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated
      with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
      libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is
      specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
      communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
      parts of the work.
 
      The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
      regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
      Source.
 
      The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
      same work.
 
   2. Basic Permissions.
 
      All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
      copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
      conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
      permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running
      a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given
      its content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges
      your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
      copyright law.
 
      You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
      convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise
      remains in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the
      sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you,
      or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
      that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
      material for which you do not control copyright.  Those thus making
      or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
      behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit
      them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
      their relationship with you.
 
      Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
      the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section
      10 makes it unnecessary.
 
   3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
 
      No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
      measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
      article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December
      1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
      such measures.
 
      When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
      circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
      circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
      with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to
      limit operation or modification of the work as a means of
      enforcing, against the work’s users, your or third parties’ legal
      rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
 
   4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
 
      You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you
      receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
      appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
      keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
      non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
      code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
      give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
 
      You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
      and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
 
   5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
 
      You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
      produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
      terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
      conditions:
 
        a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you
           modified it, and giving a relevant date.
 
        b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
           released under this License and any conditions added under
           section 7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in
           section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
 
        c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
           License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
           License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
           section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all
           its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.  This License
           gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but
           it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately
           received it.
 
        d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
           Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has
           interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
           Notices, your work need not make them do so.
 
      A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
      works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered
      work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
      program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is
      called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting
      copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
      compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit.
      Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
      License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
 
   6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
 
      You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
      of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
      machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
      License, in one of these ways:
 
        a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
           (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
           Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
           customarily used for software interchange.
 
        b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
           (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
           written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
           long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that
           product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code
           either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
           software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
           durable physical medium customarily used for software
           interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
           physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
           to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
           charge.
 
        c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
           written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
           alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,
           and only if you received the object code with such an offer,
           in accord with subsection 6b.
 
        d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
           place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to
           the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
           place at no further charge.  You need not require recipients
           to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.
           If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
           Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by
           you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
           facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the
           object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
           Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
           remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
           needed to satisfy these requirements.
 
        e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
           provided you inform other peers where the object code and
           Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the
           general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
 
      A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
      excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need
      not be included in conveying the object code work.
 
      A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means
      any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
      family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
      incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is
      a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
      coverage.  For a particular product received by a particular user,
      “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of
      product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
      way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
      expected to use, the product.  A product is a consumer product
      regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
      industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
      only significant mode of use of the product.
 
      “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
      procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
      install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
      User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.
      The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
      functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
      interfered with solely because modification has been made.
 
      If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with,
      or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying
      occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
      and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
      perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction
      is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
      section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But
      this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
      retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
      Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
 
      The requirement to provide Installation Information does not
      include a requirement to continue to provide support service,
      warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed
      by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
      modified or installed.  Access to a network may be denied when the
      modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation
      of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
      communication across the network.
 
      Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
      provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
      publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
      public in source code form), and must require no special password
      or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
 
   7. Additional Terms.
 
      “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of
      this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
      conditions.  Additional permissions that are applicable to the
      entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in
      this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
      law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
      that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
      entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to
      the additional permissions.
 
      When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
      remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
      of it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
      removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
      additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
      for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
 
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material
      you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
      holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
      terms:
 
        a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from
           the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
 
        b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
           or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
           Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
 
        c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
           or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked
           in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
 
        d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
           or authors of the material; or
 
        e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
           trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
 
        f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
           material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified
           versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
           the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
           assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
 
      All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
      restrictions” within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as
      you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
      it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
      restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document
      contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
      under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
      by the terms of that license document, provided that the further
      restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
 
      If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
      must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
      additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
      where to find the applicable terms.
 
      Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in
      the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
      the above requirements apply either way.
 
   8. Termination.
 
      You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
      provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
      modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
      under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the
      third paragraph of section 11).
 
      However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
      license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
      provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
      finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
      copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
      reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
 
      Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
      reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
      violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
      received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
      that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
      after your receipt of the notice.
 
      Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
      the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
      under this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not
      permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses
      for the same material under section 10.
 
   9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
 
      You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
      run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
      occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
      transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
      acceptance.  However, nothing other than this License grants you
      permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions
      infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.  Therefore,
      by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
      acceptance of this License to do so.
 
   10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
 
      Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
      receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
      propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not
      responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
      License.
 
      An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
      organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
      organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a
      covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
      transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
      licenses to the work the party’s predecessor in interest had or
      could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession
      of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
      interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
      efforts.
 
      You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
      rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you
      may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise
      of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate
      litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
      alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
      selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion
      of it.
 
   11. Patents.
 
      A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
      License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.
      The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor
      version”.
 
      A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims
      owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
      hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
      permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
      contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
      infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
      contributor version.  For purposes of this definition, “control”
      includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
      consistent with the requirements of this License.
 
      Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
      royalty-free patent license under the contributor’s essential
      patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
      otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
      version.
 
      In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any
      express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to
      enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
      patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).  To “grant”
      such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
      commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
 
      If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent
      license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available
      for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
      License, through a publicly available network server or other
      readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
      Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
      yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular
      work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements
      of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
      recipients.  “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge
      that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work
      in a country, or your recipient’s use of the covered work in a
      country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
      country that you have reason to believe are valid.
 
      If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
      arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
      covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
      receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
      modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the
      patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
      recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
 
      A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within
      the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
      conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
      are specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a
      covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third
      party that is in the business of distributing software, under which
      you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your
      activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party
      grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work
      from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
      copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
      those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
      products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
      entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted,
      prior to 28 March 2007.
 
      Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
      any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
      otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
 
   12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
 
      If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
      or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
      do not excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you
      cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
      obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations,
      then as a consequence you may not convey it at all.  For example,
      if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
      further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the
      only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would
      be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
 
   13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
 
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
      permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
      under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
      single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms
      of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the
      covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
      General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through
      a network will apply to the combination as such.
 
   14. Revised Versions of this License.
 
      The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
      versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such
      new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
      may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
 
      Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
      Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU
      General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you
      have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
      that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
      Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version
      number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any
      version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
 
      If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
      versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that
      proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
      authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
 
      Later license versions may give you additional or different
      permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
      author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
      later version.
 
   15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
 
      THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
      APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
      COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS”
      WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
      INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
      MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE
      RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
      SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
      NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 
   16. Limitation of Liability.
 
      IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
      WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
      AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
      DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
      CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
      THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
      BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
      PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
      PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
      THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 
   17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
 
      If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
      above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
      reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
      approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
      connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
      liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
 
 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 ===========================
 
 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
 =============================================
 
 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
 terms.
 
    To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
 “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
 
      ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
      Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
 
      This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
      it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
      the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
      your option) any later version.
 
      This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
      WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
      MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
      General Public License for more details.
 
      You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
      along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
 
    Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
 mail.
 
    If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
 
      PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
      This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’.
      This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
      under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
 
    The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the
 appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your
 program’s commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
 use an “about box”.
 
    You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
 school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
 necessary.  For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
 the GNU GPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
 
    The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
 program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine
 library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
 applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the
 GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.  But first,
 please read <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
