@item Info-scroll-prefer-subnodes
If set to a non-@code{nil} value, @key{SPC} and @key{BACKSPACE} (or
-@key{DEL}) keys in a menu visit subnodes of the current node before
-scrolling to its end or beginning, respectively. For example, if the
-node's menu appears on the screen, the next @key{SPC} moves to a
-subnode indicated by the following menu item. Setting this option to
-@code{nil} results in behavior similar to the stand-alone Info reader
-program, which visits the first subnode from the menu only when you
-hit the end of the current node. The default is @code{nil}.
