How To Install elpa-transient on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install elpa-transient on Kali Linux.
What is elpa-transient
elpa-transient is:
Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix arguments and suffix commands. We could call this abstraction a “transient command”, but because it always involves at least two commands (a prefix and a suffix) we prefer to call it just a “transient”.
When the user calls a transient prefix command, then 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
the echo area until the transient is exited by invoking a suffix
command.
Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed, possibly by reading a new value in the minibuffer.
Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited but suffix commands can also be configured to not exit the transient state.
