ediff: Quick Help Customization
7.2 Quick Help Customization
============================
Ediff provides quick help using its control panel window. Since this
window takes a fair share of the screen real estate, you can toggle it
off by typing ‘?’. The control window will then shrink to just one line
and a mode line, displaying a short help message.
The variable ‘ediff-use-long-help-message’ tells Ediff whether you
use the short message or the long one. By default, it is set to ‘nil’,
meaning that the short message is used. Set this to ‘t’, if you want
Ediff to use the long message by default. This property can always be
changed interactively, by typing ‘?’ into Ediff Control Buffer.
If you want to change the appearance of the help message on a
per-buffer basis, you must use ‘ediff-startup-hook’ to change the value
of the variable ‘ediff-help-message’, which is local to
‘ediff-control-buffer’.
