An opinionated Transient-based user interface for the Emacs Info reader.
If installed via MELPA then add these lines to your Emacs initialization file with your binding of preference.
(require 'casual-info) ; optional if using autoloaded menu
(keymap-set Info-mode-map "C-o" #'casual-info-tmenu)While not required, adding this configuration to your Emacs initialization file will synchronize keybindings between Casual Info and the Info reader. A nice visual improvement is to use hl-line-mode to highlight the line where the cursor is at. Enabling scroll-lock-mode will enable scrolling the buffer for content that is larger than its window size with the navigation keys.
