Since this command is mostly useful for | Lisp debugging and programming, the documentation belongs in the Lisp | manual. The doc/emacs/trouble.texi documents: @chapter Dealing with Common Problems @findex toggle-debug-on-error @pindex Edebug To make a backtrace for the error, use @kbd{M-x toggle-debug-on-error} before the error happens (that is to say, you must give that command and then make the bug happen). This causes the error to start the Lisp debugger, which shows you a backtrace. Copy the text of the debugger's backtrace into the bug report. @xref{Debugger,, The Lisp Debugger, elisp, the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}, for information on debugging Emacs Lisp programs with the Edebug package. This use of the debugger is possible only if you know how to make the bug happen again. If you can't make it happen again, at least copy the whole error message. The toggle-debug-on-quit is comparable. It would be awkward not to be able to find it with "s" search command; that you would need to switch to entirely another info manual to see the function.

I see no harm in mentioning it in the Emacs manual, so I added a short blurb about it. > It would be awkward not to be able to find it with "s" search command You should use `i', not `s' for searching an Info manual. Any user-level variable and function in an Info manual should be indexed.
