OK, to me it seems inconsistent. Anyway, I now discovered what I thought was a bug a while ago. If you highlight a region using C-SPC C-SPC or using the mouse, C-d (the Delete key, not Backspace, on my keyboard) works differently. So, *if* people like it to be like this, I guess DEL (or Backspace as I call it) should work the same way: mouse-higlighted: DEL and C-d deletes marked text transien-mark-highlighted: DEL and C-d only delets one character Again, if I wasn't clear enough about this before; I think it is bad design if the user interface works differently just because of *how* the highlighted mark was done. And, IMHO, delete-selection-mode should be enabled for a marked region to be deleted when pressing DEL or C-d. I won't argue more about this now. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
