;;; Commentary:
;; Ease navigation by providing a minor mode that enables a transient
;; key map whenever certain navigation commands are specified.
;; The `transient-navigation-mode' and
;; `global-transient-navigation-mode' minor modes can be used to
;; enable this mode either locally or globally.
;; More keybindings can be added to your liking by using the
;; `transnav-make-transient' macro. With this macro You can specify
;; the key to use while the transient keymap is enabled, which map you
;; would like to have activated and which function you would like it
;; to replace and put in the transient keymap.
;; Currently the variables `transient-C-navigation-map' and
;; `transient-M-navigation-map' are provided, which try to extend the
;; Control and Meta (Alt) prefixed navigation commands. You can
;; easily add your own by creating a keymap and passing it as the MAP
;; parameter to `transnav-make-transient'.
