Having to hold S-<left/right> till the number increases by 20 is not
fast enough, unfortunately.

I completely missed C-r since it wasn't mentioned in the Commentary
section, nor does the command have a docstring.  🙃

I see now, thanks.

I figured it out but it took me some time to find out that whitespace
governs the outline level.  Maybe I missed the explanation in the
Commentary since I skimmed it due to being in a hurry (my mistake!).

I was thinking we could put the keybinding texts from the Commentary in
the major-mode docstrings since it is hard to fish through all the
bindings and find the toc-mode ones.

    ;; toc-mode (tablist)
    ;; TAB~               preview/jump-to-page
    ;; right/left         toc-in/decrease-remaining
    ;; C-right/C-left     toc-in/decrease-remaining and view page
    ;; S-right/S-left     in/decrease pagenumber current entry
    ;; C-down/C-up        scroll document other window (if document buffer shown)
    ;; S-down/S-up        full page scroll document other window ( idem )
    ;; C-j                toc--jump-to-next-entry-by-level

Sure, I will make a pull request.
