Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 08:08:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1PALqn-000656-Le__20321.953125722$1288009804$gmane$org@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87eibf3659.fsf@stupidchicken.com> (message from Chong Yidong on Sun, 24 Oct 2010 12:30:26 -0400)
If
we make DEL behave differently for one type of region, what's the
justification for limiting ourselves to DEL?
DEL is so special that we need no "justification" for treating
it specially. However, that's not what I recommend. It's not
just DEL, it is also C-d.
For instance, in other X applications, shift-selecting a region and
typing a self-inserting character replaces the region. By this
reasoning, shouldn't we enable Delete Selection mode style behavior for
shift-selected regions?
Maybe we should fully enable that behavior after shift-selections
and after mouse-selections.
