Subject: Delete Selection mode
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:44:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1O52KG-0006wt-5C@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I thought I was trying Delete Selection mode, but I had turned it on
with (setq delete-selection-mode t). A few days ago I discovered that
was a no-op. So I started trying it for real.
It has caused me annoying surprises every day, including
just now finding that M-w C-y did not duplicate the region
as I expected it to. (Instead it was a no-op.) I will keep
trying it for a few more days.
