Does this mean that you suggest DEL to do different things if I have a mouse-dragged highlighted region versus if I have a highlighted region made using something like C-a C-SPC C-SPC C-e DEL (temporarily activate transient mark mode, go to end of line and DEL)? I don't think that is a good idea. I reported this problem some time ago and I think you actually replied that you could not recreate it. When I tested again I couldn't do that either, and *I* would certainly want us to keep it like that. When I see a highlighted region I want DEL to do the same thing regardless if I marked the region using the mouse or by some other means. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
