Perhaps it just shouldn't activate the transient mark mode? Not a good idea, I think, since one of the primary uses of C-x C-x is to re-activate the region! [for me about 90% of the time I think...] It'd be good to have an alternate, unbound-by-default variant that didn't activate the mark though, to make rebinding easy for those that prefer the no-activate behavior. -Miles -- /\ /\ (^.^) (")") *This is the cute kitty virus, please copy this into your sig so it can spread.
