I see. For me, having it marked when it's not needed has always been a small sacrifice, as long as it's always present when needed (and for my uses, it practically always is). | An "active region" is more than just the area between point and an | active mark.

I see your point. I've never gotten around to AUCTeX though, so I assume it's more of a problem there. | > Would you care to elaborate on this? | | You don't need to "go back and do it all over again". Just use C-u | C-x C-x to activate or reactivate an existing region. Yes, that works. It will still take some time before I'm convinced, because this is such a habit for me. -- SB _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
