Subject: bug#20785: user-error for mark-inactive
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 02:34:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oakncf4h.fsf@mail.linkov.net> (raw)

A single remaining case that is too annoying is when the debugger is
called due to a user error while accidentally typing `C-w' (kill-region)
when there is no active mark in the buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (mark-inactive)
  signal(mark-inactive nil)
  mark()
  byte-code("\300 `\301E\207" [mark region] 3)
  call-interactively(kill-region nil nil)
  command-execute(kill-region)

The following patch avoids this in both cases:

1. when mark-even-if-inactive is non-nil, displays the message:
   "user-error: The mark is not set now, so there is no region"

2. when mark-even-if-inactive is nil, displays the message:
   "mark: The mark is not active now"
